[webmin-l] Minor bug reading /etc/mail/aliases

[cw <we...@fi...>]

I was looking through the sendmail options to see if I could find 
anything relative to my other problem and I noticed a bit of a bug which 
is a separate issue, hence posting a separate message.

If I go to /sendmail/list_aliases.cgi I find that the output of webmin 
completely ignores any quotes in the aliases file. The FreeBSD aliases 
file contains quite a few quotes so I wouldn't want to start trying to 
alter things with Webmin incase it unquotes stuff.

An example is that the following quote:

# NOTE: /var/msgs and /var/msgs/bounds must be owned by sendmail's
#	DefaultUser (defaults to mailnull) for the msgs alias to work.

gets interpreted as:
Address: NOTE
Alias to: Write to file: /var/msgs
Alias to: Email Address: and
Alias to: Write to file /var/msgs/bounds

then one email address for each chunk of text separated by whitespace.

It might be an idea to have Webmin not attempt to do anything with the 
quotes unless you click the manual edit link. Trying to interpret and 
display them obviously doesn't work. I just test what happens if you try 
to alter it. It leaves it commented out but rewrites the quote onto one 
big long line.

I think this problem comes in from trying webmin disabling mail aliases 
by commenting them out but something needs to distinguish disabled 
mailboxes from comments..
