The system used to have logicals defined of the form $ define /system dis$xxx "@distribution_dir:xxx.dis" and users would send to mail destination called dis$xxx (without typing an @-sign). The distribution files were indexed files with lines of the form node::user We left the files indexed files intact (and thanks, Ned, for the change that allowed us to access indexed files), removed the logicals, and for each did: $ pmdf forward dis$xxx <file-spec-for-list $ mail Mail> set forward /user=dis$xxx in%dis$xxx Would the fact that we used PMDF FORWARD rather than the alias file cause us problems?
