+
+.SH NAME
+masqmail.aliases \- masqmail alias file format
+
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+This man page describes the format of the masqmail alias file.
+Its usual location is \fI/etc/aliases\fR.
+
+
+.SH FILE FORMAT
+
+The alias file consists of lines of the form:
+local_part: item1, item2, ...
+Items can be surrounded by double quotes `"'.
+If within the quotes other quotes are needed for an address they can be
+escaped with a leading backslash `\\'.
+
+A leading backslash `\\' indicates that this address shall not be further expanded.
+
+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.
+
+Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.
+
+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.
+
+There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the alias file has been changed.
