Subject: Re: mail to all users on a system (from root)
... set up an alias that includes that list in /etc/mail/aliases:
everybody: :include: /etc/mail/everybody.list
And what will you do if a spam hits that address? Then that spam multiplies
by an order of magnitude! Would it not be beautiful if you could say
something thing like,
everybody: :include:root /etc/mail/everybody.list ?
I mean, aliases that can only be invoked by a specific user. Come to think
of it, for all purposes and intent, "chmod 600 /etc/mail/everybody.list" (as
user that will use the alias) will probably yield the desired effect.
