| meillo@0 | 7 .SH DESCRIPTION |
| meillo@0 | 8 |
| meillo@34 | 9 This man page describes the format of the masqmail alias file. |
| meillo@34 | 10 Its usual location is \fI/etc/aliases\fR. |
| meillo@34 | 11 |

| meillo@0 | 13 .SH FILE FORMAT |
| meillo@0 | 14 |
| meillo@0 | 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. |
| meillo@0 | 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. |
| meillo@0 | 27 |
| meillo@0 | 28 Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored. |
| meillo@0 | 29 |
| meillo@34 | 30 Aliases will be expanded at delivery time. |
| meillo@34 | 31 This means that if there is a message still in the queue and you change |
| meillo@34 | 32 any alias which matches one of the recipient addresses, |
| meillo@34 | 33 the change will have effect next time a delivery is attemped. |
| meillo@0 | 34 |
| meillo@0 | 35 There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the alias file has been changed. |
