meillo@56 41 <p>The alias file consists of lines of the form:</p>
meillo@56 42 <pre>
meillo@56 43 local_part: item1, item2, ...
meillo@56 44 </pre>
meillo@56 45
meillo@56 46 <p>Items can be surrounded by quotes '"'. If within the quotes other
meillo@56 47 quotes are needed for an address they can be escaped with a leading
meillo@56 48 backslash '\'.</p>
meillo@56 49
meillo@56 50 <p>A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further
meillo@56 51 expanded.</p>
meillo@56 52
meillo@56 53 <p>A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated
meillo@56 54 as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the
meillo@56 55 standard input of a command. The command will run under the user id
meillo@56 56 and group id masqmail is running as. If quotes are needed, the pipe
meillo@56 57 symbol must appear <i>within</i> the quotes.</p>
meillo@56 58
meillo@56 59 <p>Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.</p>
meillo@56 60
meillo@56 61 <p>Aliases will be expanded at <i>delivery</i> time. This means that
meillo@56 62 if there is a message still in the queue and you change any alias
meillo@56 63 which matches one of the recipient addresses, the change will have
meillo@56 64 effect next time a delivery is attemped.</p>
meillo@56 65
meillo@56 66 <p>There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the
meillo@56 67 alias file has been changed.</p>
