- # Coherent mail aliases file #
- # #
- # Each line of this file gives an alias name followed by ':' #
- # followed by a whitespace-separated list of replacement names. #
- # A replacement name may be a UUCP address, a local user name, #
- # or another alias. A line starting with '#' is a comment. #
- # A '\' causes the remainder of the physical line in the file #
- # to be discarded as if it were a comment; the same alias #
- # specification continues with the next line. #
- # #
- # The mail program reconciles a mail message addressed to an #
- # alias to the alias specified in this file. #
- # This process repeats recursively for each replacement name. #
- # A message addressed to foo with the alias of foo specified #
- # by the line "foo: foo" simply sends the message to foo. #
- # A replacement name of the form "machine!stuff..." #
- # where "machine" is the uucpname of the local machine #
- # is defined to be the same as "stuff...". #
- # #
- # Duplicates in the resolution list are discarded. #
- # It is illegal to specify an alias name more than once. #
- # #
- # The mail program reads the file $HOME/.aliases as if it were #
- # part of this file to allow user-specific mail aliases. #
- # #
- # Caution: It is quite easy to produce loops which will cause #
- # mail to cycle forever in the UUCP system between multiple #
- # machines, messages growing by a new header at every step. #
- # This should be AVOIDED! #
