The only thing I've ever used 'whom' for is to verify that it picked the right Mike out of .mh_alias, or to see what the aliases expanded to. I've never expected any further validation than "this is a syntactically correct address", and wasn't even really aware that it *would* do further attempts at verification. But then, it's been 2 decades since I've actually used 'whom' on a system where validating the actual addresses was feasible. Does 'whom -check' have any real relevance in today's world?
