Afloyd.16 net.bugs.4bsd utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!harpo!floyd!trb Mon Jan 4 17:45:23 1982 my delivermail eats messages to aliased users. I am running 4.1bsd. I was getting flakey service from Mail, because I had comment fields on my aliases (so I thought), e.g.: test:floyd!trb # Andy Tannenbaum newaliases did NOT complain about these comment fields, but my messages were not getting through. So I deleted the comment fields and made a new aliases.* with newaliases. The aliases.* were smaller, a good sign. But my mail to aliased things just disapears. I now have an aliases file that consists of one line: test:trb (it sends test to me). I Mail to test and it just gets swallowed. No error messages, no messages mailed to root or daemon or uucp or me. Nothing. Perplexing. Any suggestions? Andy Tannenbaum chico!floyd!trb (not aliased)
