# overall structure:
#	in an effort to not trace each address individually, but rather
#	ask each server in turn a whole bunch of questions, addresses to
#	be expanded are queued up.
#
#	This means that all accounting w.r.t. an address must be stored in
#	various arrays.  Generally these arrays are indexed by the
#	string "$addr *** $server" where $addr is the address to be
#	expanded "foo" or maybe "foo@bar" and $server is the hostname
#	of the SMTP server to contact.
#

# important global variables:
#
# @hosts : list of servers still to be contacted
# $server : name of the current we are currently looking at
# @users = $users{@hosts[0]} : addresses to expand at this server
# $u = $users[0] : the current address being expanded
# $names{"$users[0] *** $server"} : the 'name' associated with the address
# $mxbacktrace{"$users[0] *** $server"} : record of mx expansion
# $mx_secondary{$server} : other mx relays at the same priority
# $domainify_fallback{"$users[0] *** $server"} : alternative names to try 
#	instead of $server if $server doesn't work
# $temporary_redirect{"$users[0] *** $server"} : when trying alternates,
#	temporarily channel all tries along current path
# $giveup{$server} : do not bother expanding addresses at $server
# $verbose : -v
# $watch : -w
# $vw : -v or -w
# $debug : -d
# $valid : -a
# $levels : -1
# $S : the socket connection to $server

.SH NAME
expn \- recursively expand mail aliases
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B expn
.RI [ -a ]
.RI [ -v ]
.RI [ -w ]
.RI [ -d ]
.RI [ -1 ]
.IR user [@ hostname ]
.RI [ user [@ hostname ]]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B expn
will use the SMTP
.B expn
and 
.B vrfy
commands to expand mail aliases.  
It will first look up the addresses you provide on the command line.
If those expand into addresses on other systems, it will 
connect to the other systems and expand again.  It will keep 
doing this until no further expansion is possible.
.SH OPTIONS
The default output of 
.B expn
can contain many lines which are not valid
email addresses.  With the 
.I -aa
flag, only expansions that result in legal addresses
are used.  Since many mailing lists have an illegal
address or two, the single
.IR -a ,
address, flag specifies that a few illegal addresses can
be mixed into the results.   More 
.I -a
flags vary the ratio.  Read the source to track down
the formula.  With the
.I -a
option, you should be able to construct a new mailing
list out of an existing one.
.LP
If you wish to limit the number of levels deep that 
.B expn
will recurse as it traces addresses, use the
.I -1
option.  For each 
.I -1
another level will be traversed.  So, 
.I -111
will traverse no more than three levels deep.
.LP
The normal mode of operation for
.B expn
is to do all of its work silently.
The following options make it more verbose.
It is not necessary to make it verbose to see what it is
doing because as it works, it changes its 
.BR argv [0]
variable to reflect its current activity.
To see how it is expanding things, the 
.IR -v ,
verbose, flag will cause 
.B expn 
to show each address before
and after translation as it works.
The 
.IR -w ,
watch, flag will cause
.B expn
to show you its conversations with the mail daemons.
Finally, the 
.IR -d ,
debug, flag will expose many of the inner workings so that
it is possible to eliminate bugs.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
No enviroment variables are used.
.SH FILES
.PD 0
.B /tmp/expn$$
.B temporary file used as input to 
.BR nslookup .
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR aliases (5), 
.BR sendmail (8),
.BR nslookup (8),
RFC 823, and RFC 1123.
.SH BUGS
Not all mail daemons will implement 
.B expn
or
.BR vrfy .
It is not possible to verify addresses that are served
by such daemons.
.LP
When attempting to connect to a system to verify an address,
.B expn
only tries one IP address.  Most mail daemons
will try harder.
.LP
It is assumed that you are running domain names and that 
the 
.BR nslookup (8) 
program is available.  If not, 
.B expn
will not be able to verify many addresses.  It will also pause
for a long time unless you change the code where it says
.I $have_nslookup = 1
to read
.I $have_nslookup = 
.IR 0 .
.LP
Lastly, 
.B expn
does not handle every valid address.  If you have an example,
please submit a bug report.
.SH CREDITS
In 1986 or so, Jon Broome wrote a program of the same name
that did about the same thing.  It has since suffered bit rot
and Jon Broome has dropped off the face of the earth!
(Jon, if you are out there, drop me a line)
.SH AVAILABILITY
The latest version of 
.B expn
is available through anonymous ftp at
.IR ftp://ftp.idiom.com/pub/muir-programs/expn .
