Email IDs added to .mailrc aliases not receiving mails
Okie - Sorry for the confusion. Will try explaining again - hope the picture gets clearer now.
My intent - I am trying to add a new userid to an existing alias in .mailrc.
Overview:-
There are scripts (that send mails to groups defined in .mailrc) cronned on a unix box - these scripts run from a user(for e.g:- abcd). I switched user (sudo su - abcd) to abcd and then updated the .mailrc to add a new email id as below:
Original .mailrc content:-
#
alias amigos
john@abc.com
#
Updated .mailrc to:-
#
alias amigos
john@abc.com sally@abc.com
#
Earlier only john received mails sent through these scripts.
Problem:- Post the update even Sally should have received them. She is not receiving the mails sent out by these scripts running as abcd user on the unix box. Any idea why?
Thanks - Let me know if the issue is still unclear.

email::folder::mbox
Email::Folder::Mbox(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Email::Folder::Mbox(3pm)
NAME
Email::Folder::Mbox - reads raw RFC822 mails from an mbox file
SYNOPSIS
This isa Email::Folder::Reader - read about its API there.
DESCRIPTION
Does exactly what it says on the tin - fetches raw RFC822 mails from an mbox.
The mbox format is described at http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html
We attempt to read an mbox as through it's the mboxcl2 variant, falling back to regular mbox mode if there is no "Content-Length" header to
be found.
OPTIONS
The new constructor takes extra options.
"eol"
This indicates what the line-ending style is to be. The default is "
", but for handling files with mac line-endings you would want
to specify "eol => "x0d""
"jwz_From_"
The value is taken as a boolean that governs what is used match as a message seperator.
If false we use the mutt style
/^From S+s+(?:Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun)/
/^From (?:Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun)/;
If true we use
/^From /
In deference to this extract from <http://www.jwz.org/doc/content-length.html>
Essentially the only safe way to parse that file format is to
consider all lines which begin with the characters ``From ''
(From-space), which are preceded by a blank line or
beginning-of-file, to be the division between messages. That is, the
delimiter is "
From .*
" except for the very first message in the
file, where it is "^From .*
".
Some people will tell you that you should do stricter parsing on
those lines: check for user names and dates and so on. They are
wrong. The random crap that has traditionally been dumped into that
line is without bound; comparing the first five characters is the
only safe and portable thing to do. Usually, but not always, the next
token on the line after ``From '' will be a user-id, or email
address, or UUCP path, and usually the next thing on the line will be
a date specification, in some format, and usually there's nothing
after that. But you can't rely on any of this.
Defaults to false.
"seek_to"
Seek to an offset when opening the mbox. When used in combination with ->tell you may be able to resume reading, with a trailing wind.
"tell"
This returns the current filehandle position in the mbox.
