I'm using smail-3.1.19 and mush-7.2.3. Whenever I try to mail something to multiple recipients, I get mail bounced by smail because the address ends up with an appended "," (comma). I have tried mush both with and without "NO_COMMAS" set during the build. The mush documentation implies that smail 3 ought to handle it either way. I'm reallly confused, cause I'm not sure who's adding the commas. What do I need to do to alleviate this. It's very difficult to always have to send individual mail to each recipient. Any help would be greatly appreciated ... Thanks in advance. -- Smitty ------------------------------------------- Hibbard T.

There's an #endif with an unterminated comment in it, and if you place the #define NO_COMMAS where it's documented, the C preprocessor on some machines will swallow the define as part of the comment and the NO_COMMAS code won't be enabled. Something like this: #endif /* Sun_4 #define NO_COMMAS /* blah blah blah */ Some cpps will eat from Sun_4 to the end of the blahs as a single comment. Add the */ on the endif line, and all will be well. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541, Domain: clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca UUCP: ...!cunews!latour!ecicrl!clewis; Ferret Mailing List: ferret-request@eci386; Psroff (not Adobe Transcript) enquiries: psroff-request@eci386 or Canada 416-832-0541.

Mush stupidly puts commas in the envelope addresses unless you compile it with the NO_COMMAS option. --apb Alan Barrett, Dept. of Electronic Eng., Univ. of Natal, Durban, South Africa RFC822: barrett@ee.und.ac.za Bang: m2xenix!quagga!undeed!barrett
