6 whom - report to whom a message would go

10 +folder] [-draftmessage msg] [-nodraftfolder] [file] [-version]
11 [-help]

14 Whom is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of addresses
15 and optionally verify that those addresses are deliverable at that time
16 (if -check is given).
17 The -draftfolder +folder and -draftmessage msg switches invoke the nmh
19 draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly useful) fea‐
20 ture. Consult the mh-draft(5) man page for more information.
21 The files specified by the profile entry “Aliasfile:” and any addi‐
23 tional alias files given by the -alias aliasfile switch will be read
24 (more than one file, each preceded by -alias, can be named). See
25 mh-alias(5) for more information.

54 With the -check option, whom makes no guarantees that the addresses
55 listed as being ok are really deliverable, rather, an address being
56 listed as ok means that at the time that whom was run the address was
57 thought to be deliverable by the transport service. For local
58 addresses, this is absolute; for network addresses, it means that the
59 host is known; for uucp addresses, it (often) means that the UUCP net‐
60 work is available for use.
