Hello,
I'm trying to identified the source of a problem with the "mail" command. I
use "mail email_address < file " syntax. On 2 boxes (DU 3.2G and DU 4.0b),
it works fine. But on another one (DU 4.0d), I allways get "User unknown"
message. I've tried to use aliases in a .mailrc file, but it doesn't work.
My purpose is to mail with an address such as xxx_at_domain. The check is done
through the passwd file. Man pages aren't helpfull so what's wrong ?
Regards,
JD
