The reason appears to be that the addresses contain a plethora of = characters, which also happens to be the separator between alias, full name, and address in the alias file. The parsing algorithm evidently uses the first and last = in the line to separate the three fields, thus screwing up the address thoroughly. Any suggestions? -- Soren Larsen / larsen@imada.ou.dk Dept. of Math. & Computer Science, Odense University Campusvej 55, DK-5230 Odense M, Denmark phone: +45 66 15 86 00, ext. 2312 / telefax: +45 65 93 26 91
