The bug which is | biting me is a bug in alias expansion wherein addresses are separated by commas | in the return address. Smail, in turn, sees the comma as part of the address | and gets quite confused. +--------------- This is a bug in Smail; RFC822 states that ',' is the separator between addresses, spaces are basically ignored in RFC822 addresses. Of course, standard /bin/mail (all systems) is also broken in this way; it may be /bin/mail rather than Smail which is causing your problems. -- Brandon S.
