NAME
       whom - show to whom an nmh message would be sent

SYNOPSIS
       whom [-help] [-version] [-alias aliasfile] [-check | -nocheck] [-draftfolder +folder]
            [-draftmessage msg] [-nodraftfolder] [-mts smtp | sendmail/smtp | sendmail/pipe]
            [-server servername] [-port port-name/number] [-sasl] [-saslmech mechanism] [-snoop]
            [-user username] [-tls] [-initialtls] [-notls] [file] [-draft]

DESCRIPTION
       whom is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of addresses and optionally verify
       that those addresses are deliverable at that time (if -check is given).

       The -draftfolder +folder and -draftmessage msg switches invoke the nmh draft folder facility.
       This is an advanced (and highly useful) feature.  Consult the mh-draft(5) man page  for  more
       information.

       The mail transport system default is provided in /etc/nmh/mts.conf but can be overridden here
       with the -mts switch.

       If nmh is using the SMTP MTA, the -server and the -port switches can be used to override  the
       default  mail server (defined by the /etc/nmh/mts.conf servers entry).  The -snoop switch can
       be used to view the SMTP transaction.  (Beware that the SMTP transaction may contain  authen‐
       tication information either in plaintext or easily decoded base64.)

       If  nmh has been compiled with SASL support, the -sasl switch will enable the use of SASL au‐
       thentication with the SMTP MTA.  Depending on the SASL mechanism used, this  may  require  an
       additional  password prompt from the user (but the netrc file can be used to store this pass‐
       word, as described in the mh-profile(5) man page).  The -saslmech switch can be used  to  se‐
       lect  a particular SASL mechanism, and the -user switch can be used to select a authorization
       userid to provide to SASL other than the default.   The  credentials  profile  entry  in  the
       mh-profile(5) man page describes the ways to supply a username and password.

       If SASL authentication is successful, nmh will attempt to negotiate a security layer for ses‐
       sion encryption.  Encrypted data is labelled with `(encrypted)' and `(decrypted)' when  view‐
       ing  the SMTP transaction with the -snoop switch; see the post man page description of -snoop
       for its other features.

       If nmh has been compiled with TLS support, the -tls, -initialtls, and  -notls  switches  will
       require  and  disable  the  negotiation  of TLS support when connecting to the SMTP MTA.  En‐
       crypted data is labelled with `(tls-encrypted)' and `(tls-decrypted)' when viewing  the  SMTP
       transaction  with  the -snoop switch; see the post man page description of -snoop and the TLS
       flags for more details.

       The files specified by the profile entry “Aliasfile:” and any additional alias files given by
       the -alias aliasfile switch will be read (more than one file, each preceded by -alias, can be
       named).  See mh-alias(5) for more information.

FILES
       $HOME/.mh_profile          The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Path:                To determine the user's nmh directory
       Draft-Folder:        To find the default draft-folder
       Aliasfile:           For a default alias file
       postproc:            Program to post the message

SEE ALSO
       mh-alias(5), mh-profile(5), post(8)

DEFAULTS
       `file' defaults to <mh-dir>/draft
       `-nocheck'
       `-alias' defaults to  /etc/nmh/MailAliases

CONTEXT
       None

BUGS
       With the -check option, whom makes no guarantees that the addresses listed as  being  ok  are
       really  deliverable,  rather,  an address being listed as ok means that at the time that whom
       was run the address was thought to be deliverable by the transport service.   For  local  ad‐
       dresses,  this  is absolute; for network addresses, it means that the host is known; for uucp
       addresses, it (often) means that the UUCP network is available for use.
