41 <p>The alias file consists of lines of the form:</p>
42 <pre>
43 local_part: item1, item2, ...
44 </pre>
46 <p>Items can be surrounded by quotes '"'. If within the quotes other
47 quotes are needed for an address they can be escaped with a leading
48 backslash '\'.</p>
50 <p>A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further
51 expanded.</p>
53 <p>A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated
54 as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the
55 standard input of a command. The command will run under the user id
56 and group id masqmail is running as. If quotes are needed, the pipe
57 symbol must appear <i>within</i> the quotes.</p>
59 <p>Loops will be detected, the offending address will be ignored.</p>
61 <p>Aliases will be expanded at <i>delivery</i> time. This means that
62 if there is a message still in the queue and you change any alias
63 which matches one of the recipient addresses, the change will have
64 effect next time a delivery is attemped.</p>
66 <p>There is no need to restart masqmail or run any command when the
67 alias file has been changed.</p>
