ccandrew@brolga.cc.uq.oz.au (Andrew Vellnagel) (02/13/91)
I will start with a bit of background. I, until recently, had been
using VMS mail as my mailer but have now, due to the fact that I am increasingly using UNIX, am having my mail forwarded to that UNIX machine and have deceided
to use MUSH as my mailer. The version that I am using is v7.2.0. I have set
up an alias => alias mush mush -C -S. I am rather new to the UNIX operating
system and even newer to MUSH.
Now to my actual problems. The first one is with carbon copies. I
have tried to acheive CC to myself in three ways. The first is I type mush and due to my alias for mush go into cursors mode. I then type m to send a mail
message. At the To: prompt I type name1 <CR> then the subjet line. I then
enter a ~c to carbon copy and enter name2 <CR>. When I go to send the message I
get the following response:-
submit: (USER) Unknown user name in ""name1 name2"". submit: message
submission aborted.
The second method I use is when I first enter mush I type MUSH -c name1
and then follow through the above steps to send a message (except of course
~c). This sends the message to the correct reciepent but I do not get a carbon
copy.
The third method that I have tried is that after entering mush I type
:mail -c name1. After going through the above steps on trying to send the
message I get the same outcome as method 1.
My second problem is with setting up mail aliases. In .mushrc if I set
up a mail alias such as => alias test1 address1 and then send mail to test1 it
works fine. However, if I try to set up a distrubtion list (a alias to send
to more than one person) such as => alias test2 address1 address2 ... and
send mail to test2 I get the message
submit: Unable to parse address
submit: message submission aborted.
When setting up my distrubtion list I have also tried
alias test2 'address1 address2....'
'address1,address2....'
adress1,address2....
"adress1 adrress2...."
"adress1,adress2...."
all these giving me basically the same error mesage as above.
This is beginning to frustrate me no ends and I am considering changing
to mh. Could anyone please offer any assists.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew Vellnagel.

"submit" gives it away. You're running MMDF, right? If not, I'm lost... So, let's say you are. You need to recompile Mush with -DMMDF defined and perhaps other things as well. The README file has a set of things to do if you are using MMDF. Once you do that stuff, you should be set. However, I am confused about something. If you have been using Mush that didn't have MMDF defined, you shouldn't have been able to use it at all. It sounds, from your other comments, that you can sometimes send mail ok and you are certainly reading mail without any problems. Keep this discussion on the net -- don't mail me about it -- I don't know all there is to know about MMDF and I think that others will be able to help and others still will learn something from it. -- Dan Heller ------------------------------------------------ O'Reilly && Associates Zyrcom Inc Senior Writer President argv@ora.com argv@zipcode.com

Firstly let me apologize for my original posting.

Unfortunately I have not yet been able to find out with what paremeters mush was originally compiled with. I have managed to work a fix for my carbon copy problem. I used the set record = filename command to make a copy of everything that I post out. Which of course is in effect what I was really trying to achieve. However, my problem with seting up a distrubtion list using alias is still outstanding.
