dummy: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
you can put as many email address in here as you need to, and they can be on seperate lines, so long as the are comma-delimited. Note how my third one is on the next line.
After that restart sendmail with a service sendmail restart, and you are good to go.
Oh, also note that the alias (dummy, in my example) does NOT have to be a user account on your server.
Hope that helps!

Hello, I want to have somekind of distribution list for sending e-mail so that I can send e-mail to few people just by specifying one To: address. Mailer like Eudora has this capability built-in. Kmail has something like this too, but it sucks since I have to have an entry in the contact for each e-mail address I want to put in the distribution list. I use Kmail though, BTW.So I am wondering if there's any way to do this through sendmail, and then I can send the mail to a local address, and let sendmail distribute it. The initial idea that I have is to have something like this: 1. create a new user, eg. distribution1 2. create .forward file in /home/distribution1 3. put the entry in that .forward file, such as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc.. 4. Then to send e-mail, I can just send to distribution1@localhost But this is not very elegant since then I have to create new user everytime I want to have new distribution list, and it will clutter up the /home directory. Any pointers or help for something like this? Thanks a lot. Reuben D. Budiardja
