     1.9 +<h2>Description</h2>
    1.10 +
    1.11 +<p>This man page describes the format of the masqmail alias file. Its usual location is <em>/etc/aliases</em>.</p>
    1.12 +
    1.13 +
    1.14 +
    1.15 +<h2>File Format</h2>
    1.16 +
    1.17 +<p>The alias file consists of lines of the form:</p>
    1.18 +
    1.19 +local_part: item1, item2, ...
    1.20 +
    1.21 +
    1.22 +<p>Items can be surrounded by quotes '"'. If within the quotes other
    1.23 +quotes are needed for an address they can be escaped with a leading
    1.24 +backslash '\'.</p>
    1.25 +
    1.26 +<p>A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further
    1.27 +expanded.</p>
    1.28 +
    1.29 +<p>A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated
    1.30 +as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the
    1.31 +standard input of a command. The command will run under the user id
    1.32 +and group id masqmail is running as. If quotes are needed, the pipe
    1.33 +symbol must appear within the quotes.</p>
    1.34 +
    1.35 +<p>Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.</p>
    1.36 +
    1.37 +<p>Aliases will be expanded at delivery time. This means that
    1.38 +if there is a message still in the queue and you change any alias
    1.39 +which matches one of the recipient addresses, the change will have
    1.40 +effect next time a delivery is attemped.</p>
    1.41 +
    1.42 +<p>There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the
    1.43 +alias file has been changed.</p>
