The secretaries here would like to be able to subtract user-id's from
a system wide alias.  The alias in question contains all the user id's
of the people at this site and for some reason, the secretary would
sometime like to send a message to everyone, except one person.

Is there a way with mush or sendmail that one can say, "Hey, use this
list, but remove user fred before sending out mail."

If this is just not possible, that's a very acceptable answer.
Thanks.
