| 4 masqmail.aliases \- masqmail alias file format | |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 8 | |
| 9 This man page describes the format of the masqmail alias file. | |
| 10 Its usual location is \fI/etc/aliases\fR. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 | |
| 13 .SH FILE FORMAT | |
| 14 | |
| 15 The alias file consists of lines of the form: | |
| 16 local_part: item1, item2, ... | |
| 17 Items can be surrounded by double quotes `"'. | |
| 18 If within the quotes other quotes are needed for an address they can be | |
| 19 escaped with a leading backslash `\\'. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 A leading backslash `\\' indicates that this address shall not be further expanded. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 A leading pipe symbol `|' indicates that the item shall be treated as a pipe command. | |
| 24 The content of the message will then be sent to the standard input of a command. | |
| 25 The command will run under the user id and group id masqmail is running as. | |
| 26 If quotes are needed, the pipe symbol must appear within the quotes. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 Aliases will be expanded at delivery time. | |
| 31 This means that if there is a message still in the queue and you change | |
| 32 any alias which matches one of the recipient addresses, | |
| 33 the change will have effect next time a delivery is attemped. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the alias file has been changed. | |
| 36 | |
