masqmail
annotate docs/old-manual/alias.html @ 156:ee2afbf92428
require host_name to be set in config file
exit otherwise
there is no portable way to determine the hostname
(actually the hostname that masqmail should use)
thus it must be set by the administrator

| 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> |
