Tip

Some mailer programs also allow users to define personal mail aliases, but these apply only to outgoing messages created by that specific user, and they won't be considered here since they are expanded before the message enters the larger mail system.

* * *

Entries in the aliases file have the following format:

local-name: user [, user . . . ]

Aliases may be continued onto as many lines as needed by indenting the second and subsequent lines. This line has the affect of translating the specified local-name into its corresponding expansion (whatever follows the colon) whenever it is encountered as an email address by the transport agent on the local system.

Here are some example entries:

eve: ewood

ewood: ewood@altos

ike: \issac@newton
