answer to one of your questions, and one of my own: > - creating alias.yourname.com accounts and if you have user fred, and you want fred to get mail for fsmith and fred_smith, add the following to /etc/aliases # fred aliases fsmith: fred fred_smith: fred or if someone without an account wants to have an alias, add: #external aliases fsmith: fred@realmail.com fred_smith: fred@realmail.com then after either of these, at a prompt type newaliases now i have a question for everyone. i have about 20 users with shell and email accounts. i made an alias like: all_users: joe,john,susan,dave,mark,mike,charlie to send email to all my users. but there's a few problems with this: 1) it doesn't scale well. if i ever have 100+ users, it will be very hard to figure out if someone is not in that alias, and its a lot of overhead hassle to add and subtract names from it manually every time i add or remove a user 2)anyone in the world can spam all my users by sending mail to all_users is there a simpler/better way to send email to all users? thanks joe joe@joe.to www.joe.to To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
