I didn't process all my 22 machines user's names into smail2.5's fullnames database, and I was lazy putting them into the aliases database. Someday I'll put a smart search into smail (unless I get lucky and someone else does it first). Until then it's exact string matches only. -- Jonathan Clark [NAC,attmail]!mtune!jhc An Englishman never enjoys himself except for some noble purpose.
