15 The alias file consists of lines of the form:
|
meillo@0
|
16 local_part: item1, item2, ...
|
meillo@34
|
17 Items can be surrounded by double quotes `"'.
|
meillo@34
|
18 If within the quotes other quotes are needed for an address they can be
|
meillo@34
|
19 escaped with a leading backslash `\\'.
|
meillo@0
|
20
|
meillo@34
|
21 A leading backslash `\\' indicates that this address shall not be further expanded.
|

|
22
|
meillo@34
|
23 A leading pipe symbol `|' indicates that the item shall be treated as a pipe command.
|
meillo@34
|
24 The content of the message will then be sent to the standard input of a command.
|
meillo@34
|
25 The command will run under the user id and group id masqmail is running as.
|
meillo@34
|
26 If quotes are needed, the pipe symbol must appear within the quotes.

|

|
