Whom is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of addresses and optionally verify that those addresses are deliverable at that time (if ’−check’ is given).
The ’−draftfolder +folder’ and ’−draftmessage msg’ switches invoke the nmh draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly useful) feature. Consult the mh-draft(5) man page for more information.
The files specified by the profile entry “Aliasfile:” and any additional alias files given by the ’−alias aliasfile’ switch will be read (more than one file, each preceded by ’−alias’, can be named). See mh−alias (5) for more information.
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
Path: To
determine the user’s nmh directory
Draft−Folder: To find the default draft−folder
Aliasfile: For a default alias file
postproc: Program to post the message
mh−alias(5), post(8)
’file’
defaults to <mh−dir>/draft
’−nocheck’
’−alias /etc/nmh/MailAliases’
None
With the ’−check’ option, whom makes no guarantees that the addresses listed as being ok are really deliverable, rather, an address being listed as ok means that at the time that whom was run the address was thought to be deliverable by the transport service. For local addresses, this is absolute; for network addresses, it means that the host is known; for uucp addresses, it (often) means that the UUCP network is available for use.
