WHOM(1) [nmh-1.0.4] (MH.6.8) WHOM(1)
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 preceded by
`-alias', can be named). See mh-alias (5) for more
information.

BUGS
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.
