11-26 Electronic Mail<br />

1. Log in to the Admin Console and select Services Configuration -><br />

Servers.<br />

2. Select sendmail and click the Configuration tab. Separate configuration<br />

files are maintained for each burb.<br />

3. Select the Access Table file for the appropriate burb and click Edit File.<br />

4. Add user-based allow (relay) and/or deny (reject) information to the<br />

access table.<br />

For example, if you want to allow mail addressed to Lloyd and Sharon<br />

but deny mail addressed to everyone else, you would add the following<br />

lines:<br />

# Allow mail addressed to these users<br />

To:Lloyd@bizco.net RELAY<br />

To:Sharon@bizco.net RELAY<br />

# Deny mail for everyone else<br />

To:bizco.net REJECT<br />

5. Save the changes you made to file and then close the file.<br />

Note: For additional information, see the README file in the<br />

/usr/share/sendmail directory on the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

6. Click the Save icon to save the configuration changes and rebuild the<br />

configuration and database files. This will also automatically restart the<br />

sendmail servers.<br />

Changing mail aliases<br />

Aliases allow you to redirect mail to another person or location.<br />

(Individual users can also use a .forward file for this purpose, see<br />

“Redirecting mail to a different destination” on page 11-20.) Aliases<br />

are generally used for redirecting mail addressed to system users such<br />

as “postmaster.” On the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, messages and other files are<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten e-mailed to root. By default, a root alias is created for the<br />

administrator you set up when you configured your system. For more<br />

information about mail aliases see Chapter 19 <strong>of</strong> the UNIX System<br />

<strong>Administration</strong> Handbook.<br />

Aliases are stored in the /etc/sidewinder/sendmail directory. Follow<br />

the steps below to edit this file:<br />

1. Log in to the Admin Console and select Services Configuration -><br />

Servers.
