I have two questions about groups. Up until now, I've created all of my groups while creating aliases. I now realize there is a distinction between the two, and don't really need most of the aliases for the groups, just the group definitions themselves. Whereas before I would write:

alias -group groupname groupname member1, member2, member3

now I should write:

group -group groupname -addr member1 member2 member3

correct?

As long as that is right, it doesn't seem to work for me. I can add members to a preexisting group defined with an alias command, remove the alias for the group, and then match agains the group, but I can't define a group from scratch with the above command.

My second question is why does the group command need the -group switch after it? Wouldn't: group groupname -addr member1 member2 be more sensible? Or is there something I'm missing?

Thanks!
