WHOM(1)WHOM(1)NAMEwhom - report to whom a message would go
SYNOPSISwhom [-alias aliasfile] [-check] [-nocheck] [-draft]
[-draftfolder +folder] [-draftmessage msg]
[-nodraftfolder] [file] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
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 infor-
mation.

BUGS
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.
