Hi, I'm having trouble with elm 2.3 PL4 user aliases. From within elm, I can create aliases, list them, lookup a person, and delete an alias. However, only the first alias in the list is usable. When looking up any other person or trying to send mail to them, thier address expands to an empty string. Example: The output of the 'l' command in the Alias submenu shows: userA-alias = UserA's Fullname = userA@hostA userB-alias = UserB's Fullname = userB@hostB userC-alias = UserC's Fullname = userC@hostC The output of the 'p' command shows: Check for person: userA-alias Aliased address: userA@hostA (UserA's Fullname) Check for person: userB-alias Aliased address: Check for person: userC-alias Aliased address: I've studied the source (though I don't follow hashing very well) and see no obvious problems. Running elm with debugging turned on shows nothing major (?) except a warning that the system wide alias file dosen't exist (as I don't have system wide aliases). Elm is running under Interactive Unix System V r3.2. Has anyone experienced this problem? Any fixes or suggestions? BTW: Essentially the same configuration/compiled in options of Elm works fine 'n dandy (tm) under 386BSD 0.1 (?!) A clue maybe?
