Delivery to Users
Any address in the list of addresses to the right of
the colon that does not begin with a /, |, or : character is
considered to be the address of a user. The address
can be local or remote.
If that user address to the right of the colon is
prefixed with (or contains) a backslash character
(\) and the
address is a local one, all further aliasing is
suppressed (including reading the user’s
~/.forward file), and the
message is delivered with the local delivery
agent.
