Separated by spaces or tabs, not commas.

e.g. 192.168.0.1 example.com news ftp www

Aliases can also be FQDNs, they're just alternatives:

e.g. 192.168.0.1 example.com news.example.com ftp.example.com www.example.com

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
