   1 ; MailAliases -- nmh global aliases file
   2 ;
   3 ; This file is used to define aliases that are valid for all mh users.
   4 ; This file is almost empty as MH now supports personal aliases.
   5 ;
   6 ; If you need to define system wide aliases such as "everyone", it is
   7 ; preferable that this be done as the mail transport level, so that they
   8 ; will be valid for users of other mail clients.

  12 ; Blank lines and lines beginning with a ;, :, or # are ignored.
  13 ; < file        -> read more aliases from "file"
  14 ; foo: fum      -> simple replacement
  15 ; foo: fum, fie -> list replacement
  16 ; foo: < file   -> list replacement from "file"
  17 ; foo: = group  -> list replacement from UNIX group
  18 ; foo: + group  -> list replacement by ALL users in /etc/passwd
  19 ;                     with gid == group
  20 ; foo: *        -> list replacement by ALL users in /etc/passwd
  21 ;                     with uid >= 200
  22 ; foo*: fum     -> matches foo<string> (including the empty string)
  23 ;
  24 ; using a ';' instead of a ':' indicates that the alias should be displayed
  25 ; along with the addresses used (normally, the addresses replace the alias
  26 ; completely)
  27 ;
  28 ; A backslash at the end of a line escapes the following newline, even
  29 ; in comment lines.  Thus, comments endinf with a \ will be continued even
  30 # without a leading ;, :, or # on the followling line.
