The nrcpts= syslog equate shows the number of recipients after all aliasing has been performed. If the original message was addressed to root , and if root was aliased like this: root: bob, hans and if bob 's ~/.forward file contained this: \bob "/usr/ucb/vacation bob" the nrcpts= syslog equate would show three recipients. Note that nrcpts= is included only with the sender record and that record is emitted when the message is first processed . Any later changes in aliasing that might happen while the message is queued are not reported . Aliasing on remote machines (as would be the case with exploder mailing lists) is also not reported for obvious reasons. |
