| 26 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 27 | \fIWhom\fR is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of |
|---|
| 28 | addresses and optionally verify that those addresses are deliverable at |
|---|
| 29 | that time (if `\-check' is given). |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | The `\-draftfolder\ +folder' and `\-draftmessage\ msg' switches invoke |
|---|
| 32 | the \fInmh\fR draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly |
|---|
| 33 | useful) feature. Consult the \fImh-draft\fR(5) man page for more |
|---|
| 34 | information. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | The files specified by the profile entry \*(lqAliasfile:\*(rq and any |
|---|
| 37 | additional alias files given by the `\-alias aliasfile' switch will be |
|---|
| 38 | read (more than one file, each preceded by `\-alias', can be named). |
|---|
| 39 | See \fImh\-alias\fR\0(5) for more information. |

| 62 | With the `\-check' option, \fIwhom\fR makes no guarantees that the |
|---|
| 63 | addresses listed as being ok are really deliverable, rather, an address |
|---|
| 64 | being listed as ok means that at the time that \fIwhom\fR was run |
|---|
| 65 | the address was thought to be deliverable by the transport service. |
|---|
| 66 | For local addresses, this is absolute; for network addresses, it means |
|---|
| 67 | that the host is known; for uucp addresses, it (often) means that the |
|---|
| 68 | \fIUUCP\fR network is available for use. |
