qmail(8)</STRONG> for  more  details.)   <STRONG>qmail-alias</STRONG>  automatically
       detects  forwarding  loops the instant they occur, even if
       they happen indirectly through other hosts.

       As a helpful special case, if a <STRONG>.qmail</STRONG> file is  empty,  it
       refers   to  <STRONG>~</STRONG><EM>you</EM><STRONG>/Mailbox</STRONG>.   For  example,  if  you  touch
       <STRONG>~</STRONG><EM>you</EM><STRONG>/.qmail-direct</STRONG>, mail for <EM>you</EM><STRONG>-direct</STRONG> will act like <STRONG>\</STRONG><EM>you</EM>
       did under <STRONG>sendmail</STRONG>.

       Addresses that don't contain a username are handled by the
       <STRONG>alias</STRONG> user.  For example, your  system  administrator  has
       set  up  <STRONG>~alias/.qmail-postmaster</STRONG> to handle mail for <STRONG>Post-</STRONG>
       <STRONG>master</STRONG>.  (Note to administrators: <STRONG>~alias</STRONG> doesn't apply  to
       addresses that start with a user name, with certain excep-
       tions.)
