SCR Agent for reading/writing the user-defined alias table
An agent for a unified alias table. There are slight differences between MTAs in that Postfix does not allow to escape a newline character to continue an entry, while Sendmail does. We solve it by allowing the escape, because that makes our syntax a larger language than the actual one, not smaller. The file specifies a map, but we represent it as a list to preserve preceding comments and the order of entries. list entries are" $[ "comment": " foo\n bar\n", "key": "root", "value": "joe, \\root" ] that is, comments have the leading '#' stripped but not the newline.
