I want to implement a way for users to send to a mailing list stored in a file. I dont want to update the system alias table every time somebody creates a mailing list, and I dont want to implement private alias tables for each user. I have seen messages with a format something like To: My-Dist-List: :INCLUDE: "DISK:MYLIST.DST"@MYHOST.ARPA ; This seems to be what I want, but I cant find that format in RFC822. Is this a hack by a particular host to do file includes or is it the standard way of doing it? John McNamee jpm@Bnl.Arpa
