What were you trying to do?
Put "joeuser@athena.mit.edu" into a mailing list, then send
mail to that mailing list. "joeuser" is a nonexistent user on
Athena.
What's wrong:
The mail does not go to anyone on the list at all.
What should have happened:
The mail should go to everyone on the list except
joeuser@athena.mit.edu.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Don't know.
This is a difficult problem; I'm not sure if there is an easy way to
fix it. I realize that "joeuser@athena.mit.edu" should actually be
"joeuser"; I'm not sure if it's reasonable for moira to enforce that
when generating the alias file.
