smmaillist

- manage email alias entries

Synopsis

/usr/sadm/bin/smmaillist subcommand [ auth_args] - - 
     [subcommand_args]

Description

The smmaillist command manages one or more email alias entries for the appropriate files in the local /etc files name service or an NIS name service.

subcommands

smmaillist subcommands are:

add

Creates a new email alias definition and adds it to the appropriate files. To add an entry, the administrator must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.write authorization.

delete

Deletes an email alias entry. You can delete only one entry at a time. To delete an entry, the administrator must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.write authorization. Note: You cannot delete Postmaster or Mailer-Daemon aliases.

list

Lists one or more email alias entries. To list an entry, the administrator must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.read authorization.

modify

Modifies an email alias entry. To modify an entry, the administrator must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.write authorization.

Options

The smmaillist authentication arguments, auth_args, are derived from the smc(1M) arg set and are the same regardless of which subcommand you use. The smmaillist command requires the Solaris Management Console to be initialized for the command to succeed (see smc(1M)). After rebooting the Solaris Management Console server, the first Solaris Management Console connection might time out, so you might need to retry the command.

The subcommand-specific options, subcommand_args, must come after the auth_args and must be separated from them by the - - option.

auth_args

The valid auth_args are -D, -H, -l, -p, -r, and -u; they are all optional. If no auth_args are specified, certain defaults will be assumed and the user may be prompted for additional information, such as a password for authentication purposes. These letter options can also be specified by their equivalent option words preceded by a double dash. For example, you can use either -D or - -domain with the domain argument.

-D | - -domain 13;domain

Specifies the default domain that you want to manage. The syntax of domain is type:/host_name/domain_name, where type is nis, dns, ldap, or file; host_name is the name of the machine that serves the domain; and domain_name is the name of the domain you want to manage.

If you do not specify this option, the Solaris Management Console assumes the file default domain on whatever server you choose to manage, meaning that changes are local to the server. Toolboxes can change the domain on a tool-by-tool basis; this option specifies the domain for all other tools.

-H | - -hostname 13;host_name:port

Specifies the host_name and port to which you want to connect. If you do not specify a port, the system connects to the default port, 898. If you do not specify host_name:port, the Solaris Management Console connects to the local host on port 898. You may still have to choose a toolbox to load into the console. To override this behavior, use the smc(1M) -B option, or set your console preferences to load a “home toolbox” by default.

-l | - -rolepassword 13;role_password

Specifies the password for the role_name. If you specify a role_name but do not specify a role_password, the system prompts you to supply a role_password. Passwords specified on the command line can be seen by any user on the system, hence this option is considered insecure.

-p | - -password 13;password

Specifies the password for the user_name. If you do not specify a password, the system prompts you for one. Passwords specified on the command line can be seen by any user on the system, hence this option is considered insecure.

-r | - -rolename 13;role_name

Specifies a role name for authentication. If you do not specify this option, no role is assumed.

-u | - -username 13;user_name

Specifies the user name for authentication. If you do not specify this option, the user identity running the console process is assumed.

- -

This option is required and must always follow the preceding options. If you do not enter the preceding options, you must still enter the - - option.

Examples

Example 1 Creating an alias

The following creates the coworkers alias and adds the following member list: bill@machine1, sue@machine2, and me@machine3 to the alias.

./smmaillist add -H myhost -p mypasswd -u root -- -n coworkers \ -a bill@machine1 -a sue@machine2 -a me@machine3

Example 2 Deleting a mail alias

The following deletes the my_alias alias:

./smmaillist delete -H myhost -p mypasswd -u root -- -n my_alias

Example 3 Displaying members of a mail alias

The following displays the list of members belonging to the my_alias alias:

./smmaillist list -H myhost -p mypasswd -u root -- -n my_alias

Example 4 Displaying members of all mail aliases

The following displays the list of members belonging to all mail aliases:

./smmaillist list -H myhost -p mypasswd -u root --

Example 5 Renaming a mail alias

The following renames the current_name mail alias to new_name:

./smmaillist modify -H myhost -p mypasswd -u root -- \ -n current_name -N new_name

Example 6 Redefining an address list

The following changes the recipients of the alias my_alias to bill@machine1. Any previous recipients are deleted from the alias.

./smmaillist modify -H myhost -p mypasswd -u root -- \ -n my_alias -a bill@machine1
