[comp.mail.elm] Xenix - elm problem

eddjp@althea.UUCP (Dewey Paciaffi) (08/11/89)

I have recently installed elm under Xenix. When I tried to make an
alias for several users under one name ( alias = comments = name1, ... )
I receive rmail errors when I use that alias.

The error is    usage : rmail userid

Apparently Xenix rmail can only handle one name at a time, and elm is
sending multiple names? Is there anything I can do to cure this?

Thanks

Yes.  Install Smail 2.5 with my Xenix patches.  Smail 2.5 is in the
comp.sources.unix archives; my patches are in the comp.sources.misc
archives.
