+# 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.
+#
+# 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 regu-
+# lar-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
+# .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, this
+# will override the envelope sender address, so that deliv-
+# ery diagnostics are directed to owner-name, instead of the
+# originator of the message (for details, see
+# owner_request_special, expand_owner_alias and
+# reset_owner_alias). 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.
+#
+# 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. For details on how
+# a file is written see the sections "EXTERNAL FILE
+# DELIVERY" and "DELIVERY RIGHTS" in the local(8)
+# documentation. Delivery is not limited 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. For details on how
+# a command is executed see "EXTERNAL COMMAND DELIV-
+# ERY" and "DELIVERY RIGHTS" in the local(8) documen-
+# tation.
+#
+# 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.
+#
+# CASE FOLDING
+# The local(8) delivery agent always folds the search string
+# to lowercase before database lookup.
+#
+# REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES
+# 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 regexp_table(5) or pcre_table(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 user+foo is not broken up
+# into user and foo.
+#
+# 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 $1, $2 etc.
+# substring interpolation.
+#
+# 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 (see 'postconf -d' output)
+# The alias databases for local(8) delivery that are
+# updated with "newaliases" or with "sendmail -bi".
+#
+# alias_maps (see 'postconf -d' output)
+# The alias databases that are used for local(8)
+# delivery.
+#
+# allow_mail_to_commands (alias, forward)
+# Restrict local(8) mail delivery to external com-
+# mands.
+#
+# allow_mail_to_files (alias, forward)
+# Restrict local(8) mail delivery to external files.
+#
+# expand_owner_alias (no)
+# When delivering to an alias "aliasname" that has an
+# "owner-aliasname" companion alias, set the envelope
+# sender address to the expansion of the
+# "owner-aliasname" alias.
+#
+# propagate_unmatched_extensions (canonical, virtual)
+# What address lookup tables copy an address exten-
+# sion from the lookup key to the lookup result.
+#
+# owner_request_special (yes)
+# Enable special treatment for owner-listname entries
+# in the aliases(5) file, and don't split owner-list-
+# name and listname-request address localparts when
+# the recipient_delimiter is set to "-".
+#
+# recipient_delimiter (empty)
+# The set of characters that can separate an email
+# address localpart, user name, or a .forward file
+# name from its extension.
+#
+# Available in Postfix version 2.3 and later:
+#
+# frozen_delivered_to (yes)
+# Update the local(8) delivery agent's idea of the
+# Delivered-To: address (see prepend_deliv-
+# ered_header) only once, at the start of a delivery
+# attempt; do not update the Delivered-To: address
+# while expanding aliases or .forward files.
