NAME

6       whom - report to whom a message would go
7

SYNOPSIS

9       whom [-alias aliasfile] [-check | -nocheck] [-draft] [-draftfolder
10            +folder] [-draftmessage msg] [-nodraftfolder] [file] [-version]
11            [-help]
12

DESCRIPTION

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
18       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
22       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.

BUGS

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.
