Re: repl -group and alternate-mailboxes (fwd)

[Iain MacDonnell - Sun UK - SunPS IT Operations - Project Specialist]

I'm glad it's not just me whose head it hurts :)

I've tried as much as:

Alternate-Mailboxes: *iain*@*, iain*@*, *macdonnell@*, 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

with no avail. I think, since -nocc me works as expected, that either there's
a bug, or my assumption of how it's supposed to work is wrong.

MH-PROFILE(5) says:

"For each address, if a host is not given, then that address on any host is 
considered to be you."

: This whole replgroup stuff makes my head hurt ;-), but I think your
: problem is related to the mailbox.  It needs to be an exact match of
: the *whole* address; otherwise, use glob-style wildcards.  (See the
: mh-profile(5) manual page.)  For instance, here's mine:
: 
:    Alternate-Mailboxes: jerry@*ora.com, jpeek@*, *@jpeek*

: Maybe that'll help?
