replaced the MD5 implementation with the one of Solar Designer
Until now, the sample code of RFC 1321 was used. It had an ugly license.
Now we use the implementation of Solar Designer, which is in the Public Domain.

41 <p>The alias file consists of lines of the form:</p>
42 <pre>
43 local_part: item1, item2, ...
44 </pre>
46 <p>Items can be surrounded by quotes '"'. If within the quotes other
47 quotes are needed for an address they can be escaped with a leading
48 backslash '\'.</p>
50 <p>A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further
51 expanded.</p>
53 <p>A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated
54 as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the
55 standard input of a command. The command will run under the user id
56 and group id masqmail is running as. If quotes are needed, the pipe
57 symbol must appear <i>within</i> the quotes.</p>
59 <p>Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.</p>
61 <p>Aliases will be expanded at <i>delivery</i> time. This means that
62 if there is a message still in the queue and you change any alias
63 which matches one of the recipient addresses, the change will have
64 effect next time a delivery is attemped.</p>
66 <p>There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the
67 alias file has been changed.</p>
