smmaillist(1M) System Administration Commands smmaillist(1M)NAMEsmmaillist - 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 a NIS or 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 authoriza‐
tion.
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 authoriza‐
tion. Note: You cannot delete Postmaster or Mailer-Dae‐
mon 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 reboot‐
ing the Solaris Management Console server, the first Solaris Management
Console connection might time out, so you might need to retry the com‐
mand.
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 domain
Specifies the default domain that you want to manage. The syntax of
domain is type:/host_name/domain_name, where type is nis, nisplus,
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. (Note: Do not use nis+ for nisplus.)
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 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 prefer‐
ences to load a "home toolbox" by default.
-l | -−rolepassword 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 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 role_name
Specifies a role name for authentication. If you do not specify
this option, no role is assumed.
-u | -−username 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.
subcommand_args
Note: Descriptions and other arg options that contain white spaces must
be enclosed in double quotes.
· For subcommand add:
-a address1 -a address2 . . .
(Optional) Specifies the new email address. See sendmail(1M).
-h
(Optional) Displays the command's usage statement.
-n alias_name
Specifies the name of the alias you want to add. See send‐
mail(1M).
· For subcommand delete:
-h
(Optional) Displays the command's usage statement.
-n alias_name
Specifies the alias you want to delete.
· For subcommand list:
-h
(Optional) Displays the command's usage statement.
-n alias_name
(Optional) Specifies the name of the alias you want to dis‐
play. If you do not specify an alias, all aliases are listed.
· For subcommand modify:
-a address1 -a address2 . . .
(Optional) Specifies new email address(es) to replace the
existing one(s). See sendmail(1M).
-h
(Optional) Displays the command's usage statement.
-n alias_name
(Optional) Specifies the name of the alias you want to modify.
-N new_alias_name
Specifies the new alias name. Use only when renaming an alias.
See sendmail(1M).
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
