+Simple Alias Management
+=====================
+
+
+I've written a small patch for the Zarafa Spooler that allows you to manage send-as/alias capabilities within a simple text file.
+
+The alias textfile looks like this:
+
+> user@zarafa.de;aliasforuser@zarafa.de;Alias Displayname
+> user2@zarafa.de;aliasforuser2@zarafa.de;Alias Displayname2
+> userN@zarafa.de;aliasforuserN@zarafa.de;Alias DisplaynameN
+
+The normal Zarafa send as features works like before. The new alias feature will just apply to mails, which are not handled by the Zarafa internal send-as mechanism.
+
+You can turn on and off the patch within the **spooler.cfg** file.
+New configuration parameters:
+
+**use_alias_file** (Values: yes, no ; Default: yes)
+**alias_file** (Values: Path to alias file ; Default: /etc/zarafa/alias.txt)
+
+***WARNING: you have to restart the patched/recompiled spooler version once before you add the new config parameters!***
+
+
+# INSTALLATION:
+First read: http://www.zarafa.com/wiki/index.php/Compiling_source_code
+
+For Debian 7 and ZCP 7.2 you can read my blog post: https://blog.sprinternet.at/2015/03/zarafa-zcp-7-2-auf-debian-wheezy-kompilieren/
+
+### BUILDING:
+```sh
+cd path/to/zarafa-source
+./configure --enable-unicode --enable-release --enable-python --prefix=/usr --with-gsoap-prefix=/opt/zarafa/ --with-ical-prefix=/opt/zarafa/ --with-vmime-prefix=/opt/zarafa/
+make
+checkinstall
+```
+
+### GENERAL:
+
+The alias checking reads its rules from an ansi textfile.
+Each rule needs to be on a new line. The sender mailaddress, alias mailaddress and alias display name are seperated by a semicolon
+E.g:
+
+> user@zarafa.de;aliasforuser@zarafa.de;Alias Username
+> user2@zarafa.com;aliasforuser2@zarafa.de;Alias2 Displayname
+
+Changes to this file would be applied immediately.
+Info: Display name is currentl not in use.
+
+
+
+### CONFIGURATION:
+
+The default path for the rule file is: **/etc/zarafa/alias.txt**
+
+You can enable/disable the extension in the spooler.cfg file.
+WARNING: you have to restart the patched/recompiled spooler version once before you add the new config parameters!
+
+New configuration parameters:
+
+**use_alias_file**  (Values: yes, no ; Default: yes)
+**alias_file**      (Values: Path to alias file ; Default: /etc/zarafa/alias.txt)
