fixed Debian bug 536060 (log files are closed after SIGHUP receival) Explanation: When run in daemon mode, first the log files are opened. They get assigned to the file descriptors 3 and 4 usually. Then std{in,out,err} are closed. When SIGHUP comes in, all open files are closes and masqmail reexecutes itself. The new masqmail instance opens the log files at fd 0 and 1 now, but std{in,out,err} are closed afterwards, thus the log files are closed. The fix is to close the log files before std{in,out,err} are closed, in case the log files have higher fds. After std{in,out,err} were closed, the log files get opened again, now.

<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>
