I am trying to use mh-e to redistribute messages. mh-e adds a line: Resent-To: Chet-Test when I tell it to redistribute to Chet-Test. (I have "Chet-Test: murthy" in my Aliases file) It then invokes "send" as follows: mhdist=1 mhaltmsg=/usr/u/murthy/Mail/drafts/10 /usr/local/mh/send -push /usr/u/murthy/Mail/drafts/10 where drafts/10 is the message number in the draft folder. Now comes the weird part. "send" DOES NOT do alias expansion on "Resent-To" fields. Neither does "whom". Even when I specify "-alias /usr/u/murthy/Mail/Aliases", or "-alias Aliases", and even though my .mh_profile has "send: -alias Aliases" in it. As a result, the recipient isn't aliased to "murthy", and when sendmail gets it, it barfs it back to me. Anybody got ANY ideas why this is going on? --chet--

I am sorry if this sounds weird but I have been hacking away at mh for sometime and only discovered this group recently. I am not sure if your mh is different than mine. Whatever. It aliased fine for me with just a dist command so what you are doing must be confusing it. I found a quick way to do it. I know many of you like to stay totally within the bounds of mh but I have added a few nice features with a couple kludges. Try this one out. Take the message that you want, such as ~/Mail/inbox/6 and if you want to send it to joe@blue.com chris@booga.booga.edu ...etc. Then put that list in a varible, called say..... buds. Then try this one out. cat ~/Mail/inbox/6 | rcvdist $buds and poof away you go. Unfortunately I don't have man pages for rcvdist ;) but I use it to bounce certain mail from certain people automatically. ;) Ah well, maybe my kind of reply is not what you are after, but I don't know what else to tell you. >--chet-- ian frechett@snoopy.colorado.edu
