Is it possible to suppress the Resent-to filed in the message seen
by the receipients. It would be nice if the long list of the people do
not show. Or Resent-to field is just filled with some generic name like
<cohort-list>. I guess there might be some format for send to take in.
Do you guru have solutions ?
Thanks,
--Jun
P.S. the aliases in the addresses have been resolved before passed to rcvdist
i.e. resolving aliases is not my concern

I think that's what Resent-Bcc is for. There had been an earlier discussion that some sendmail's will add an Apparently-To field, which might contain a few other id's on the same node as the recipient. -- Victor S.

The blind carbon copy recipient would receive a copy with no Subject line. And the Apparently-To fields would take quite significant space in the header. Plus the message body contains lines indicating it is a blind carbon copy. What I like is that recipinets get a copy which looks alomost the same as if it is sent using Resent-To, yet the long list of names in the Resent-To field do not show up. Any better solutions ?

I'm not sure if this is any use, since I've lost the beginning of this thread, but if you want to hide the members of a mailing list, for example, RFC 822 permits the following as an address All the dudes with white hats: bart, starman@pratt.nowhere.com; When this address goes out, all the recipients get is All the dudes with white hats:; Is this what you want? Of course, this won't work for Jun, as the BERK configuration option causes MH to puke on it (I must confess, I find myself wondering these days why anyone would want BERK and DUMB...). So my suggestion is to reconfigure MH if this looks like a useful feature to you. Otherwise, if you're using sendmail with IDA enhancements, you can try to convince your sysadm to add a file include to sendmail's aliases file so you can have your own aliases file, since sendmail aliases are usually not expanded...
