1 ; MailAliases -- nmh global aliases file
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.
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
20 ; foo: * -> list replacement by ALL users in /etc/passwd
22 ; foo*: fum -> matches foo<string> (including the empty string)
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
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.
