mutt - Using user ID as distribution list - Please help!

[josel]

Howdy!

I am having a problem. I have a user named whsea, user's
.forward file has a list of six email recipients. Messages
sent to whsea should be sent to all six but that is not
the case. None of them get the messages.

I am using SCO 5.0.6a / mutt 1.5.3i

I tried using MuttAlliases but was not able to get it to
work that way either.

Would you please offer some advise on how to get this
to work?

Thanks;

I am not familliar with mutt at all. but the first thing to check on a .forward file are the permissions. (600)

stanhubble,

Thanks for responding. The .forward files are OK. This problem just showed up like a bad cold.

I have, however, figured out how to get mutt to work. It turns out that I needed to "source" the alliases file, not just set alias_file. Alternatively, one could just define all the alliases within the .muttrc file.

Regards;


Jose
