40 # o An alias definition has the form
41 #
42 # name: value1, value2, ...
43 #
44 # o Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored,
45 # as are lines whose first non-whitespace character
46 # is a `#'.
47 #
48 # o A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A
49 # line that starts with whitespace continues a logi-
50 # cal line.
51 #
52 # The name is a local address (no domain part). Use double
53 # quotes when the name contains any special characters such
54 # as whitespace, `#', `:', or `@'. The name is folded to
55 # lowercase, in order to make database lookups case insensi-
56 # tive.
57 # The value contains one or more of the following:
58 #
59 # address
60 # Mail is forwarded to address, which is compatible
61 # with the RFC 822 standard.
62 #
63 # /file/name
64 # Mail is appended to /file/name. See local(8) for
65 # details of delivery to file. Delivery is not lim-
66 # ited to regular files. For example, to dispose of
67 # unwanted mail, deflect it to /dev/null.
68 #
69 # |command
70 # Mail is piped into command. Commands that contain
71 # special characters, such as whitespace, should be
72 # enclosed between double quotes. See local(8) for
73 # details of delivery to command.
74 #
75 # When the command fails, a limited amount of command
76 # output is mailed back to the sender. The file
77 # /usr/include/sysexits.h defines the expected exit
78 # status codes. For example, use "|exit 67" to simu-
79 # late a "user unknown" error, and "|exit 0" to
80 # implement an expensive black hole.
81 #
82 # :include:/file/name
83 # Mail is sent to the destinations listed in the
84 # named file. Lines in :include: files have the same
85 # syntax as the right-hand side of alias entries.
86 #
87 # A destination can be any destination that is
88 # described in this manual page. However, delivery to
89 # "|command" and /file/name is disallowed by default.
90 # To enable, edit the allow_mail_to_commands and
91 # allow_mail_to_files configuration parameters.
