+<p>The alias file consists of lines of the form:</p>
+<pre>
+local_part: item1, item2, ...
+</pre>
+
+<p>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 '\'.</p>
+
+<p>A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further
+expanded.</p>
+
+<p>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 <i>within</i> the quotes.</p>
+
+<p>Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.</p>
+
+<p>Aliases will be expanded at <i>delivery</i> 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.</p>
+
+<p>There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the
+alias file has been changed.</p>
