This is in mush 6.5 patchlevel 6. I sent a message to a non-existent
mail alias (i.e., I used an incorrect name for a system mail alias) by
using the following commandline:
mush -s "censored" st-c++
After I had ostensibly sent the message, I got the following silly
diagnostic:
Saved unfinished letter in ~/dead.letter
For normal non-existent users, for example "bogeyman", I get:
bogeyman... User unknown
I talked SMTP directly to our mail server and it gave the correct
"User unknown" diagnostic for "st-c++". What gives?
