ant@batserver.cs.uq.oz (Anthony Murdock) (09/29/89)
I am using mush version 6.4 which seems to have a problem when I try to send mail to more than one person at a time. I have an alias (for example) alias hon ant craig phunt ..... with ant aliased as alias ant Anthony Murdoch <ant@batserver> and the rest of them aliased similary. If I try to send mail to "hon", then the mail is returned with an error something like Unrecognised address format < ant @ batserver , > The error code is 554. Now, it seems that it is the comma that is stuffing things. But where does it come from. In my alias list there are no commas. I understand that mush inserts commas. I checked the To: list and it has inserted the commas in the correct positions. I have tried using different comment brackets (ie " and () ) as described in the manual, neither of which solve the problem (in fact the " comment brackets don't work at all). I even tried having no comments at all, but to no avail. The problem also occurs when I try to use a CC list or BCC list. Anyone out there have any suggestions ?

Your MTA is not configured to understand commas. Mush must be recompiled with the NO_COMMAS option defined; this is described in config.h-dist and in one or more of the assorted README files. -- Bart Schaefer "A Yellowbeard is never so dangerous as when he's dead." -- Graham Chapman, 1941-1989 CSNET / Internet schaefer@cse.ogc.edu UUCP ...{sequent,tektronix,verdix}!ogccse!schaefer
