NAME
whom - report to whom a message would go
SYNOPSIS
whom [-alias aliasfile] [-check] [-nocheck] [-draft]
[-draftfolder +folder] [-draftmessage msg]
[-nodraftfolder] [file] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
Whom is used to expand the headers of a message into a set
of addresses and optionally verify that those addresses
are deliverable at that time (if `-check' is given).
The `-draftfolder +folder' and `-draftmessage msg'
switches invoke the nmh draft folder facility. This is an
advanced (and highly useful) feature. Consult the mh-
draft(5) man page for more information.
The files specified by the profile entry "Aliasfile:" and
any additional alias files given by the `-alias aliasfile'
switch will be read (more than one file, each preceeded
by `-alias', can be named). See mh-alias (5) for more
information.

`-alias /etc/nmh/MailAliases' None With the `-check'
option, whom makes no guarantees that the addresses listed
as being ok are really deliverable, rather, an address
being listed as ok means that at the time that whom was
run the address was thought to be deliverable by the
transport service. For local addresses, this is absolute;
for network addresses, it means that the host is known;
for uucp addresses, it (often) means that the UUCP network
is available for use.
