It's a list ot aliases.

mom : alice@???

tells that mail for mom is to be sent to alice@???

anglers: john@???, alain@???

tells it that mail for anglers is to be sent to john@??? and also to alain@???

And that's about all there is to it. entries in a line of destinations can refer to other alias lines, but there's a onstraint as to which has to come first.

Try it out. Just edit an /etc/aliases into existence, and you'll likely find it works if your system handles its own email.
