Afloyd.16 net.bugs.4bsd utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!harpo!floyd!trb Mon Jan 4 17:45:23 1982 my delivermail eats messages to aliased users. I am running 4.1bsd. I was getting flakey service from Mail, because I had comment fields on my aliases (so I thought), e.g.: test:floyd!trb # Andy Tannenbaum newaliases did NOT complain about these comment fields, but my messages were not getting through. So I deleted the comment fields and made a new aliases.* with newaliases. The aliases.* were smaller, a good sign. But my mail to aliased things just disapears. I now have an aliases file that consists of one line: test:trb (it sends test to me). I Mail to test and it just gets swallowed. No error messages, no messages mailed to root or daemon or uucp or me. Nothing. Perplexing. Any suggestions?
