# ALIASES(5)                    File Formats Manual                   ALIASES(5)
# 
# NAME
#        aliases - Postfix local alias database format
# 
# SYNOPSIS
#        newaliases
# 
#        postalias -q name [file-type]:[file-name]
# 
# DESCRIPTION
#        The  optional aliases(5) table (alias_maps) redirects mail
#        for local recipients. The redirections  are  processed  by
#        the  Postfix local(8) delivery agent. This table is always
#        searched with an email address localpart (no  domain  por‐
#        tion).
# 
#        This  is  unlike  virtual(5) aliasing (virtual_alias_maps)
#        which applies to all recipients:  local(8),  virtual,  and
#        remote, and which is implemented by the cleanup(8) daemon.
#        That  table  is  often  searched with a full email address
#        (including domain).
# 
#        Normally, the aliases(5) table is specified as a text file
#        that serves as input to the postalias(1) command to create
#        an indexed file for fast lookup. The location of this file
#        is system-dependent. This text will use /path/to/aliases.
# 
#        Execute the command "newaliases  to  rebuild  the  indexed
#        file  after  changing the text file. Execute "postalias -q
#        name /path/to/aliases" to  query  a  default-type  indexed
#        file, or execute "postalias -q name type:/path/to/aliases"
#        to specify an explicit type.
# 
#        The  default  indexed file type is configured with the de‐
#        fault_database_type parameter. Depending on  the  platform
#        this  may  be  one of lmdb:, cdb:, hash:, or dbm: (without
#        the trailing ':').
# 
#        When the table is provided via other means  such  as  NIS,
#        LDAP or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary in‐
#        dexed files.  Managing such databases is outside the scope
#        of Postfix.
# 
#        Alternatively,  the table can be provided as a regular-ex‐
#        pression map where patterns are given as  regular  expres‐
#        sions.  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:
# 
#        •      An alias definition has the form
# 
#                    name: value1, value2, ...
# 
#        •      Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are  ignored,
#               as  are  lines whose first non-whitespace character
#               is a `#'.
# 
#        •      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_re‐
#        quest_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 orig‐
#        inator 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  im‐
#               plement 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  aliases(5)  en‐
#               tries.
# 
#               A  destination  can  be any destination that is de‐
#               scribed in this manual page. However,  delivery  to
#               "|command" and /file/name is disallowed by default.
#               To  enable, edit the allow_mail_to_commands and al‐
#               low_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 ad‐
#        dress (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 fa‐
#        tal 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)

# 
#        alias_maps (see 'postconf -d' output)
#               Optional  lookup tables that are searched only with
#               an email address localpart (no domain) and that ap‐
#               ply only to local(8)  recipients;  this  is  unlike
#               virtual_alias_maps  that  are often searched with a
#               full email address (including domain) and that  ap‐
#               ply  to  all recipients: local(8), virtual, and re‐
#               mote.
# 
#        allow_mail_to_commands (alias, forward)
#               Restrict local(8) mail delivery  to  external  com‐
#               mands.

# 
#        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

#               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.
