@malias
Section titled “@malias”@malias [<alias>]
The @malias command is used to create, view, and manipulate @mail aliases, or lists. An alias is a shorthand way of specifying a list of players for @mail. Aliases begin with the ’+’ (plus) prefix, and represent a list of dbrefs; aliases may not include other aliases.
@malias with no arguments lists aliases available for your use, and is equivalent to @malias/list
@malias with a single argument (the name of an alias) lists the members of that alias, if you’re allowed to see them. Other forms of the same command are @malias/members <alias> or @malias/who <alias>

Alias permissions
Section titled “Alias permissions”@malias/use <alias>=<perm list>@malias/see <alias>=<perm list>
@malias/use controls who may use an alias. Players who may use an alias will see it in their @malias list, and can @mail to the alias.
@malias/see controls who may list the members of an alias.
An empty permission list allows any player. The permission list may also be a space-separated list of one or more of “owner”, “members” (of the alias), and “admin”.
By default, the owner and alias members may see and use the alias, but only the owner may list the members. Note that admin may always list aliases and their members, regardless of these settings, but are treated like anyone else when trying to @mail with an alias.
