System Administrator Alias

Use the System Administrator Alias module to create the list of people who will receive mail addressed to the system administrator (who is also known as the UNIX root user).

Each person on the list must be a valid mail address. Valid alias members who cannot be reached at configuration time will be added to the alias, but any mail sent to that alias will not be delivered.

To Set Up a System Administrator Alias

1. From the Main Administration page, under "System Administration," click System Administrator Alias.

   The System Administrator Alias Administration page is displayed.

2. Enter the mail addresses of the alias members (see Table 6-14).

   Table 6-14 System Administrator Alias Administration

   Option	Description
   Alias Members	A list of users, one per line, who will receive mail sent to root. Each listed user must be a valid mail address. If any valid alias members cannot be reached at the time of configuration, they are added to the alias, but mail sent to the alias is returned to the sender. The maximum length of the alias is 1000 characters, including implicit commas that are added between successive alias members.

   Note -

   If the Netra software has been installed onto a server that mounts /var/mail from a remote server, mail is handled by the remote server. This situation requires that the members of the administrator alias are valid mail addresses on the remote server.
