VERIFY(1MH)             COMMAND REFERENCE             VERIFY(1MH)



NAME
     verify - verify mail addresses

SYNOPSIS
     verify [ filename ] [ -draft ] [ -remove ] [ -noremove ] [
     -verbose ] [ -noverbose ]

DESCRIPTION
     Verify is used to expand and verify mail addresses found in
     the given file or the default draft file.

     Verify actually invokes sendmail(8mh) with the -bv option.
     For more information about the output, see the manual page
     for sendmail.

     The default options to verify are: -remove and -noverbose.

OPTIONS
     -draft    If no filename is specified, use the default draft
               file without asking.

     -remove   Do not include the invoker's name in the
               expansion.

     -noremove Include the invoker's name in the expansion.

     -verbose  Invoke sendmail with the -v option, causing all
               expansions to be printed.

     -noverbose
               Terse mode. Alias expansions are not printed.

EXAMPLES
     Verify is usually executed via the `v' command in comp(1mh),
     repl(1mh), and forw(1mh), but can be used alone to verify
     addresses.  The following example verifies the addresses in
     the current draft file, if it exists.  No questions will be
     asked about the file to use, and aliases will be expanded in
     the output.

           verify -draft -verbose

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [1]            A problem as reported by the error message
                    occurred.

SEE ALSO
     comp(1mh), forw(1mh), repl(1mh), and sendmail(8mh).
