- I don't get deep into sendmail often, so this question puzzles me,
- and I don't have any decent documentation in my office.
-
- What I have repeatedly bitten myself with would be solved if sendmail
- iterated alias lookup. A brief example:
-
- STAFF john,fred
- ...
- john johnh@somewhere
-
- This just DOESN'T seem to work, I get complaints that john doesn't
- exist when I mail to STAFF. You see, I was SO used to mailing to
- john (NOT johnh@somewhere) that I just used 'john' when I added
- STAFF. Gets me every time.
-
- Version 5.65 of sendmail (it's HP-UX 8.0).
