I used the elm aliases submenu to add some aliases and elm created a files called aliases.text in the following format: alias = real name = user@host.domain When I do 'lookups' it seems to work fine - until I actually try mailing to the alias - elm looks at my alias and thinks I'm trying to send to a local user with the same name as the alias. Also, I occasionally get the following message at the bottom of my screen: Warning: couldn't figure out system connections... What does this mean and how can I fix it??? Alan
