For example, if the "To:" field has "Programmers", everyone who receives the note knows who is on the list. I don't want the list to explicitly list every reciepient. This is under MDA control, not MUA. You should include this in /etc/aliases, which will do what you want: programmers: titi, toto, tutu, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] don't forget to rebuild this aliases database after. Arnaud.

How can I create an alias for a list of users ( about 30 )? alias listname addr1, addr2, addr3 It's much easier if you already have aliases for the members of the list. Then: alias listname alias1, alias2, alias3 I didn't test whether you have to set $reverse alias then. Michael
