# 	the admin of a list I set up for remote moderation on my
# 	machine just sent me the following note:
# 
# P.P.S.: I only had one surprise. It seems that WHICH <string> only
# returns the first occurrence of <string>. I expected it to return all
# occurrences. This behavior would seem to force the administrator to
# understand the string matcher and put closely similar addresses (like
# smith@mcc.com and bsmith@mcc.com) in a certain order in the files. Or
# am I missing something? It's not like the situation would arise that
# often.
# 
# 	I've not updated to 1.56 or 1.60 yet, but as I don't recall that
# 	this matter has received any remarks, it's likely to be still
# 	the way things work...
# 
# 	I'd consider it reasonable to report all "hits" and not just
# 	the first, don't you?!?

I certainly do consider that reasonable; that's exactly what Majordomo
does.  Your user is mistaken; it works fine here.  See the attached
demonstration.
