jrb@petro.UUCP (Jon Boede) (11/09/87)
I have for some time been trying to effect a "command execution" in place of a machine alias (~/malises) rather than a user alias (~/aliases). Unfortunately, a line like... gateway: "|server-program" in the malises file is completely ignored. I even tried hashing the malises file but that didn't do any good, either. Nada... What I want to do is field addresses like... ...!petro!gateway!jon@somesys.mydomain Ultimately, I'll probably switch to something like smail and I'll then register a domain with the uunet people, but for right now I'd really be interested in opinions as to why maliases is broke.
