    1.44 +<p>The alias file consists of lines of the form:</p>
    1.45 +<pre>
    1.46 +local_part: item1, item2, ...
    1.47 +</pre>
    1.48 +
    1.49 +<p>Items can be surrounded by quotes '"'. If within the quotes other
    1.50 +quotes are needed for an address they can be escaped with a leading
    1.51 +backslash '\'.</p>
    1.52 +
    1.53 +<p>A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further
    1.54 +expanded.</p>
    1.55 +
    1.56 +<p>A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated
    1.57 +as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the
    1.58 +standard input of a command. The command will run under the user id
    1.59 +and group id masqmail is running as. If quotes are needed, the pipe
    1.60 +symbol must appear <i>within</i> the quotes.</p>
    1.61 +
    1.62 +<p>Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.</p>
    1.63 +
    1.64 +<p>Aliases will be expanded at <i>delivery</i> time. This means that
    1.65 +if there is a message still in the queue and you change any alias
    1.66 +which matches one of the recipient addresses, the change will have
    1.67 +effect next time a delivery is attemped.</p>
    1.68 +
    1.69 +<p>There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the
    1.70 +alias file has been changed.</p>
