- Ned,
-
- I think thast you're hitting me pretty hard on this one.
- While it may be documented that pmdf test is not appropriate
- to use for personal aliases, I didn't know and stepped into
- it. It did seem reasonable - I'm sorry!
-
- I am not responsible for the condition of the miriad of
- mishappen sendmails in the world. Their purpose is just to
- haunt us all.
-
- As for:
-
- > Finally, I don't know what you expected to get, but this is the expected

- > If you want the alias to expand into the real address just mark it expand
- > and it will. If you want it to expand into an alias other people can use
- > mark it public.
-
- Again I have to plead ignorance. I had to search for a while
- [for the manual as well as for the answer] to understand what you
- were saying. I note that I could only use the resultant address
- [when I used expand] if I set transport to in%. I couldn't come
- up with any suitable combination of quotes to get the address through.
- Is that correct?
