Documentation for aliases #684

Open dehnhard opened 9 months ago

Describe the bug

Missing documentation of /etc/maddy/aliases.

Steps to reproduce

I followed the tutorial to setup a simple personal mail server. It was easy and straightforward. Just the needed mail aliases took a long time to setup, because it was not documented and a search brought me at first to some complex setup descriptions. Eventually I found a mention of the aliases file in some PR or commit message.

Log files

n/a

Configuration file

n/a

Environment information

A sentence about /etc/maddy/aliases at the end of the tutorial and/or an example file for e.g. an alias hostmaster would be nice for newcomers.

It would be helpful to have a quick snippet of what the file should look like in the docs page. I had this working at some point but that file got lost, and now trying a few obvious permutations to recreate it and all don't seem to be working for some reason. Thanks
