NAME

whom - report to whom a message would go

SYNOPSIS

whom[-alias aliasfile][-check] [-nocheck][-draft][-draftfolder +folder] [-draftmessage msg] [-nodraftfolder][file][-help]

DESCRIPTION

Whom is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of addressesand optionally verify that those addresses are deliverable at that time(if `-check' is given).

The `-draftfolder +folder' and `-draftmessage msg' switches invoke theMH draft folder facility.This is an advanced (and highly useful) feature.Consult the Advanced Features section of the MH manual for moreinformation.

The files specified by the profile entry ``Aliasfile:'' and anyadditional alias files given by the `-alias aliasfile' switch will be read(more than one file, each preceeded by `-alias', can be named).See mh-alias (5) for more information.^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile^Path:~^To determine the user's MH directory^Draft-Folder:~^To find the default draft-folder^Aliasfile:~^For a default alias file^postproc:~^Program to post the messagemh-alias(5), post(8)`file' defaults to <mh-dir>/draft`-nocheck'`-alias /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases'NoneWith the `-check' option, whom makes no guarantees that the addresseslisted as being ok are really deliverable, rather, an address being listedas ok means that at the time that whom was run the address wasthought to be deliverable by the transport service. For local addresses, thisis absolute; for network addresses, it means that the host is known; for uucpaddresses, it (often) means that the UUCP network is available for use.
