Here's another alternative that I've used for sometime now:
1) create a cron job that runs the following script daily (I put this script
in /etc/cron.daily):
#!/bin/sh
awk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd | grep -vxFf /etc/exclude | sort >
/etc/allusers
2) create the file /etc/exclude. This file contains the list of users from
/etc/passwd that are to be excluded from the mailing list
3) the list of user names is now contained in /etc/allusers. Simply send an
email to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
I can't for the life of me remember who came up with this script originally
else I would certainly give him credit.
HTH,
Mike

I have about 1900 users on my system and I am looking for a fast and EASY
way to mail all of my users and tell them about things happening on our
network. I have played with Majordomo but I try and send a message to the
list that I have created and nothing happens. I don't get any errors and
I don't get the mail sent. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
Any suggestions?
