Description of Problem: When using /bin/mail to send messages, putting multiple comma-separated personal aliases (defined in .mailrc) as to-addr fails in the shell command. This contrasts with putting multiple comma-separated aliases at the '&' prompt, putting a single alias in either the shell command or at the '&' prompt. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailx-8.1.1-21 How Reproducible: fully reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. at shell prompt, type "mail <alias1>,<alias2>" where <alias1> and <alias2> are each defined as aliases in the .mailrc file. 2. 3. Actual Results: A "User unknown" error message for each of the aliases. Expected Results: The message should be sent to the expansion of the aliases, which is what happens when typing the same command at the '&' prompt inside /bin/mail. Additional Information:
Thank you for your notice. If you want to mail to two aliases use command mail <alias1> <alias2> where aliases are separated by spaces. IV
