| 3 masqmail.aliases \- masqmail alias file format | |
| 4 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 5 | |
| 6 This man page describes the format of the masqmail alias file. Its usual location is \fI/etc/aliases\f1. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 .SH FILE FORMAT | |
| 9 | |
| 10 The alias file consists of lines of the form: | |
| 11 local_part: item1, item2, ... | |
| 12 Items can be surrounded by quotes '"'. If within the quotes other quotes are needed for an address they can be escaped with a leading backslash '\'. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further expanded. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the standard input of a command. The command will run under the user id and group id masqmail is running as. If quotes are needed, the pipe symbol must appear within the quotes. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 Aliases will be expanded at delivery time. This means that if there is a message still in the queue and you change any alias which matches one of the recipient addresses, the change will have effect next time a delivery is attemped. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the alias file has been changed. | |
