+# NAME
+# aliases - Postfix local alias database format
+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+# newaliases
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+# The aliases(5) table provides a system-wide mechanism to
+# redirect mail for local recipients. The redirections are
+# processed by the Postfix local(8) delivery agent.
+#
+# Normally, the aliases(5) table is specified as a text file
+# that serves as input to the postalias(1) command. The
+# result, an indexed file in dbm or db format, is used for
+# fast lookup by the mail system. Execute the command
+# newaliases in order to rebuild the indexed file after
+# changing the Postfix alias database.
+#
+# The input and output file formats are expected to be com-
+# patible with Sendmail version 8, and are expected to be
+# suitable for the use as NIS maps.
+#
+# Users can control delivery of their own mail by setting up
+# .forward files in their home directory. Lines in per-user
+# .forward files have the same syntax as the right-hand side
+# of aliases(5) entries.
+#
+# The format of the alias database input file is as follows:
+#
+# o An alias definition has the form
+#
+# name: value1, value2, ...
+#
+# o Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored,
+# as are lines whose first non-whitespace character
+# is a `#'.
+#
+# o A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A
+# line that starts with whitespace continues a logi-
+# cal line.
+#
+# The name is a local address (no domain part). Use double
+# quotes when the name contains any special characters such
+# as whitespace, `#', `:', or `@'. The name is folded to
+# lowercase, in order to make database lookups case insensi-
+# tive.
+#
+# In addition, when an alias exists for owner-name, delivery
+# diagnostics are directed to that address, instead of to
+# the originator. This is typically used to direct delivery
+# errors to the owner of a mailing list, who is in a better
+# position to deal with mailing list delivery problems than
+# the originator of the undelivered mail.
+#
+# The value contains one or more of the following:
+#
+# address
+# Mail is forwarded to address, which is compatible
+# with the RFC 822 standard.
+#
+# /file/name
+# Mail is appended to /file/name. See local(8) for
+# details of delivery to file. Delivery is not lim-
+# ited to regular files. For example, to dispose of
+# unwanted mail, deflect it to /dev/null.
+#
+# |command
+# Mail is piped into command. Commands that contain
+# special characters, such as whitespace, should be
+# enclosed between double quotes. See local(8) for
+# details of delivery to command.
+#
+# When the command fails, a limited amount of command
+# output is mailed back to the sender. The file
+# /usr/include/sysexits.h defines the expected exit
+# status codes. For example, use |"exit 67" to simu-
+# late a "user unknown" error, and |"exit 0" to
+# implement an expensive black hole.
+#
+# :include:/file/name
+# Mail is sent to the destinations listed in the
+# named file. Lines in :include: files have the same
+# syntax as the right-hand side of alias entries.
+#
+# A destination can be any destination that is
+# described in this manual page. However, delivery to
+# "|command" and /file/name is disallowed by default.
+# To enable, edit the allow_mail_to_commands and
+# allow_mail_to_files configuration parameters.
+#
+# ADDRESS EXTENSION
+# When alias database search fails, and the recipient local-
+# part contains the optional recipient delimiter (e.g.,
+# user+foo), the search is repeated for the unextended
+# address (e.g., user).
+#
+# The propagate_unmatched_extensions parameter controls
+# whether an unmatched address extension (+foo) is propa-
+# gated to the result of table lookup.
+#
+# SECURITY
+# The local(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression
+# substitution of $1 etc. in alias_maps, because that would
+# open a security hole.
+#
+# The local(8) delivery agent will silently ignore requests
+# to use the proxymap(8) server within alias_maps. Instead
+# it will open the table directly. Before Postfix version
+# 2.2, the local(8) delivery agent will terminate with a
+# fatal error.
+#
+# CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
+# The following main.cf parameters are especially relevant.
+# The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
+# postconf(5) for more details including examples.
+#
+# alias_database
+# List of alias databases that are updated by the
+# newaliases(1) command.
+#
+# alias_maps
+# List of alias databases queried by the local(8)
+# delivery agent.
+#
+# allow_mail_to_commands
+# Restrict the usage of mail delivery to external
+# command.
+#
+# allow_mail_to_files
+# Restrict the usage of mail delivery to external
+# file.
+#
+# expand_owner_alias
+# When delivering to an alias that has an owner- com-
+# panion alias, set the envelope sender address to
+# the right-hand side of the owner alias, instead
+# using of the left-hand side address.
+#
+# propagate_unmatched_extensions
+# A list of address rewriting or forwarding mecha-
+# nisms that propagate an address extension from the
+# original address to the result. Specify zero or
+# more of canonical, virtual, alias, forward,
+# include, or generic.
+#
+# owner_request_special
+# Give special treatment to owner-listname and list-
+# name-request addresses.
+#
+# recipient_delimiter
+# Delimiter that separates recipients from address
+# extensions.
