In a mixed Linux/Novell environment I have some scripts that create a new
aliases file each evening, on the Novell side, using various criteria that
relate to cc:Mail. The file gets placed in a Netware ftp directory where a
Linux expect script fetches it, creates a safety backup of the previous
file, then compiles with newaliases.
But rather than create a monster alias for everyone, I've set up majordomo
as a broadcast-only list and I repopulate the list each night with a new
file (created by the same perl script as the aliases file). By using
majordomo, I was able to prepend [allstaff] to the subject line. In
cc:Mail, the Everyone entry points to the mailing list (using the smtp
gateway).
A bit convoluted, but our users like it.
