So I used sendmail -bs to expand the lists into valid addresses. Anyways, here's the bottom of my conversation: ... 250- 250- 250-<113060.224@CompuServe.COM> 250- 250 So I run this through sed and strip the 250's and end up with an expanded list. Here's the tail of 'cat allstaff': ... <113060.224@CompuServe.COM> su-2.00# the tail of 'od -c': ... 0001500 i . h u > \r \n < c e p @ k i m e 0001520 p . k z > \r \n < j m e y e r s @ 0001540 o s i . h u > \r \n < 1 1 3 0 6 0 0001560 . 2 2 4 @ C o m p u S e r v e . 0001600 C O M > \r \n < p u r u c z k y @ 0001620 o s i . h u > \r \n < m o n i k a 0001640 @ c e p f . s k > \r \n 0001653 su-2.00# and finally, the tail of 'more': ... <113060.224@CompuServe.COM> ruczky@osi.hu> su-2.00# So where's all the garbage coming from in 'more'?
