- In elm, type "a" to get into the alias mode. Create an alias name for
- your distribution group. When prompted for the address, enter them
- all, separated by commas.
-
- NOTE: I seemed to have encountered some character limit for the
- addresses. In order to get around that, I created individual aliases
- for the people in the group (like chuck =
- blochc@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu, mysysop = root@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu,
- ...), then aliased the distribution list using these shorter aliases.
- (like group = chuck,mysysop). I don't know exactly what the character
- limit is, but suspect 256.
-
- Hope this helps. If anybody has better info, I'd be glad to see it.
