In other words, "To:kav@xxxxxxxxx" would match, as would "To: kav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"... tw -- +--------------------------+------------------------------+ | Tim Walberg | twalberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | 830 Carriage Dr. | www.mindspring.com/~twalberg | | Algonquin, IL 60102 | | +--------------------------+------------------------------+ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
