I don’t think mail aliases are working in gnu mail (mail.mailutils).

As per the man page, I put an alias like this in my .mailrc:

alias gg ***@example.com

and when I ‘mail gg’, I get an error. I see in the mail log mail is trying to mail gg and not ***@example.com. I see from strace that mail is in fact reading .mailrc, but for some reason it’s not taking into account the alias in that file.

Hi Michael,

What version of Mailutils you are using?
when I 'mail gg', I get an error
What error message do you get?

Best regards,
Sergey
