+# NAME
+# aliases 5
+# SUMMARY
+# Postfix local alias database format
+# SYNOPSIS
+# .fi
+# \fBnewaliases\fR
+# DESCRIPTION
+# The \fBaliases\fR(5) table provides a system-wide mechanism to
+# redirect mail for local recipients. The redirections are
+# processed by the Postfix \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent.
+#
+# Normally, the \fBaliases\fR(5) table is specified as a text file
+# that serves as input to the \fBpostalias\fR(1) command. The
+# result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format, is
+# used for fast lookup by the mail system. Execute the command
+# \fBnewaliases\fR in order to rebuild the indexed file after
+# changing the Postfix alias database.
+#
+# When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP
+# or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
+#
+# Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular-expression
+# map where patterns are given as regular expressions. In
+# this case, the lookups are done in a slightly different way
+# as described below under "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES".
+#
+# Users can control delivery of their own mail by setting
+# up \fB.forward\fR files in their home directory.
+# Lines in per-user \fB.forward\fR files have the same syntax
+# as the right-hand side of \fBaliases\fR(5) entries.
+#
+# The format of the alias database input file is as follows:
+# .IP \(bu
+# An alias definition has the form
+# .sp
+# .nf
+# \fIname\fR: \fIvalue1\fR, \fIvalue2\fR, \fI...\fR
+# .fi
+# .IP \(bu
+# Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as
+# are lines whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'.
+# .IP \(bu
+# A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that
+# starts with whitespace continues a logical line.
+# .PP
+# The \fIname\fR is a local address (no domain part).
+# Use double quotes when the name contains any special characters
+# such as whitespace, `#', `:', or `@'. The \fIname\fR is folded to
+# lowercase, in order to make database lookups case insensitive.
+# .PP
+# In addition, when an alias exists for \fBowner-\fIname\fR,
+# this will override the envelope sender address, so that
+# delivery diagnostics are directed to \fBowner-\fIname\fR,
+# instead of the originator of the message (for details, see
+# \fBowner_request_special\fR, \fBexpand_owner_alias\fR and
+# \fBreset_owner_alias\fR).
+# This is typically used to direct delivery errors to the maintainer of
+# a mailing list, who is in a better position to deal with mailing
+# list delivery problems than the originator of the undelivered mail.
+# .PP
+# The \fIvalue\fR contains one or more of the following:
+# .IP \fIaddress\fR
+# Mail is forwarded to \fIaddress\fR, which is compatible
+# with the RFC 822 standard.
+# .IP \fI/file/name\fR
+# Mail is appended to \fI/file/name\fR. See \fBlocal\fR(8)
+# for details of delivery to file.
+# Delivery is not limited to regular files. For example, to dispose
+# of unwanted mail, deflect it to \fB/dev/null\fR.
+# .IP "|\fIcommand\fR"
+# Mail is piped into \fIcommand\fR. Commands that contain special
+# characters, such as whitespace, should be enclosed between double
+# quotes. See \fBlocal\fR(8) for details of delivery to command.
+# .sp
+# When the command fails, a limited amount of command output is
+# mailed back to the sender. The file \fB/usr/include/sysexits.h\fR
+# defines the expected exit status codes. For example, use
+# \fB"|exit 67"\fR to simulate a "user unknown" error, and
+# \fB"|exit 0"\fR to implement an expensive black hole.
+# .IP \fB:include:\fI/file/name\fR
+# Mail is sent to the destinations listed in the named file.
+# Lines in \fB:include:\fR files have the same syntax
+# as the right-hand side of alias entries.
+# .sp
+# A destination can be any destination that is described in this
+# manual page. However, delivery to "|\fIcommand\fR" and
+# \fI/file/name\fR is disallowed by default. To enable, edit the
+# \fBallow_mail_to_commands\fR and \fBallow_mail_to_files\fR
+# configuration parameters.
+# ADDRESS EXTENSION
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# When alias database search fails, and the recipient localpart
+# contains the optional recipient delimiter (e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR),
+# the search is repeated for the unextended address (e.g., \fIuser\fR).
+#
+# The \fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions\fR parameter controls
+# whether an unmatched address extension (\fI+foo\fR) is
+# propagated to the result of table lookup.
+# CASE FOLDING
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# The local(8) delivery agent always folds the search string
+# to lowercase before database lookup.
+# REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# This section describes how the table lookups change when the table
+# is given in the form of regular expressions. For a description of
+# regular expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5)
+# or \fBpcre_table\fR(5). NOTE: these formats do not use ":" at the
+# end of a pattern.
+#
+# Each regular expression is applied to the entire search
+# string. Thus, a search string \fIuser+foo\fR is not broken
+# up into \fIuser\fR and \fIfoo\fR.
+#
+# Regular expressions are applied in the order as specified
+# in the table, until a regular expression is found that
+# matches the search string.
+#
+# Lookup results are the same as with indexed file lookups.
+# For security reasons there is no support for \fB$1\fR,
+# \fB$2\fR etc. substring interpolation.
+# SECURITY
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent disallows regular expression
+# substitution of $1 etc. in \fBalias_maps\fR, because that
+# would open a security hole.
+#
+# The \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent will silently ignore
+# requests to use the \fBproxymap\fR(8) server within
+# \fBalias_maps\fR. Instead it will open the table directly.
+# Before Postfix version 2.2, the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery
+# agent will terminate with a fatal error.
+# CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
+# .ad
+# .fi
+# The following \fBmain.cf\fR parameters are especially relevant.
+# The text below provides only a parameter summary. See
+# \fBpostconf\fR(5) for more details including examples.
+# .IP "\fBalias_database (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
+# The alias databases for \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery that are updated with
+# "\fBnewaliases\fR" or with "\fBsendmail -bi\fR".
+# .IP "\fBalias_maps (see 'postconf -d' output)\fR"
+# The alias databases that are used for \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery.
+# .IP "\fBallow_mail_to_commands (alias, forward)\fR"
+# Restrict \fBlocal\fR(8) mail delivery to external commands.
+# .IP "\fBallow_mail_to_files (alias, forward)\fR"
+# Restrict \fBlocal\fR(8) mail delivery to external files.
+# .IP "\fBexpand_owner_alias (no)\fR"
+# When delivering to an alias "\fIaliasname\fR" that has an
+# "owner-\fIaliasname\fR" companion alias, set the envelope sender
+# address to the expansion of the "owner-\fIaliasname\fR" alias.
+# .IP "\fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions (canonical, virtual)\fR"
+# What address lookup tables copy an address extension from the lookup
+# key to the lookup result.
+# .IP "\fBowner_request_special (yes)\fR"
+# Enable special treatment for owner-\fIlistname\fR entries in the
+# \fBaliases\fR(5) file, and don't split owner-\fIlistname\fR and
+# \fIlistname\fR-request address localparts when the recipient_delimiter
+# is set to "-".
+# .IP "\fBrecipient_delimiter (empty)\fR"
+# The set of characters that can separate a user name from its
+# extension (example: user+foo), or a .forward file name from its
+# extension (example: .forward+foo).
+# .PP
+# Available in Postfix version 2.3 and later:
+# .IP "\fBfrozen_delivered_to (yes)\fR"
+# Update the \fBlocal\fR(8) delivery agent's idea of the Delivered-To:
+# address (see prepend_delivered_header) only once, at the start of
+# a delivery attempt; do not update the Delivered-To: address while
+# expanding aliases or .forward files.
