Having created several hundred aliases for local users here of the
form:  firstinitial.lastname, I'm now in need of a program that
deals with those that are ambiguous.  In particular, I'm looking
for a program that will send email back to the sender to the effect:

	a.smith is ambiguous, please use one of:

		andy_smith
		anne_smith

But I don't particularly want to re-invent this wheel?  Does anyone
out there have such a routine--suitable for Unix systems--that
they could kindly send me source for?

I'd like to be able to have amgiguous aliases route to that program
like:

a.smith: "|/usr/local/bin/amgiguous"

and have the resulting program check a exception list.

thanks in advance,
