; Sample alias file for Mercury.
|
|
; Copright (c) 1993-96, David Harris, All Rights Reserved.
|
|
;
|
|
; The format for this file is:
|
|
;
|
|
; alias == real_address
|
|
;
|
|
; Lines starting with ';', '#' or '*' are considered comments
|
|
; and are ignored, as are blank lines. There may be trailing
|
|
; and leading whitespace on entries - it is all stripped out
|
|
; in the alias file. It is a limitation of this release of
|
|
; Mercury that you cannot have an alias or real address which
|
|
; contains '==' because no quoting mechanism is implemented.
|
|
;
|
|
; Compile the file using MALIAS.EXE, and copy it to the place
|
|
; you have specified in MERCURY.INI. You can update Mercury's
|
|
; alias file while Mercury is running.
|
|
;
|
|
; You can have an almost unlimited number of aliases, and you
|
|
; may have them resolve to anything you wish. Aliases are
|
|
; resolved before any other attempt at address resolution is
|
|
; made, so it is perfectly legal to have a local-looking alias
|
|
; resolve to an off-server address. Note, though, that aliases
|
|
; work strictly on the ADDRESS - they are not affected by any
|
|
; quoted or comment text which is attached to it. As an example
|
|
; of the impact of this, the aliasing mechanism regards these
|
|
; two addresses as identical:
|
|
;
|
|
; "My what a funny day!" david@pmail.gen.nz
|
|
; (Master of the Lightbulbs) <david@pmail.gen.nz> "Pop!"
|
|
;
|
|
; Aliases may be applied recursively up to four levels deep -
|
|
; that is, you may have aliases for aliases in this file.
|
|
; (although it still eludes me why anyone would do this).
|
|
;
|
|
; Neither aliases nor real addresses are case-sensitive,
|
|
; although case is preserved in real addresses.
