Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures

To Permit Users to See the Mail Queue

  1. Assume the Security Administrator role and go to an ADMIN_LOW workspace on the system where you want a user to be able to list the mail queue.

  2. Use the Set Mail Options action in the System_Admin folder in the Application Manager to open the sendmail.cf file for editing.

  3. Search for the restrictmailq option in the file.


    # Privacy flags
    O PrivacyOptions=authwarnings,restrictmailq
  4. Remove the restrictmailq option.


    # Privacy flags
    O PrivacyOptions=authwarnings
  5. Save and quit the file.

  6. Open the SMC at the appropriate scope and assign the Mail Management rights profile to the user.

    The user can now use the mailq and sendmail -bp commands show the mail queue at labels dominated by the user's process.
