meillo@56: 
meillo@56: <p>Items can be surrounded by quotes '"'. If within the quotes other
meillo@56: quotes are needed for an address they can be escaped with a leading
meillo@56: backslash '\'.</p>
meillo@56: 
meillo@56: <p>A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further
meillo@56: expanded.</p>
meillo@56: 
meillo@56: <p>A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated
meillo@56: as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the
meillo@56: standard input of a command. The command will run under the user id
meillo@56: and group id masqmail is running as. If quotes are needed, the pipe
meillo@56: symbol must appear <i>within</i> the quotes.</p>
meillo@56: 
meillo@56: <p>Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.</p>
meillo@56: 
meillo@56: <p>Aliases will be expanded at <i>delivery</i> time. This means that
meillo@56: if there is a message still in the queue and you change any alias
meillo@56: which matches one of the recipient addresses, the change will have
meillo@56: effect next time a delivery is attemped.</p>
meillo@56: 
meillo@56: <p>There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the
meillo@56: alias file has been changed.</p>
