Aliases
The ares mailing lists are configured in the file /etc/aliases. A mailing list is just
an alias with multiple destination email addresses.
An entry in this file looks like the following:
sshd: root
This entry says that whenever mail is sent to sshd@ares.phys.utas.edu.au, it should actually
end up being received by the root user. So an example mailing list would be:
list: myfriend@hotmail.com,thatguy@aol.com,somedude@gmail.com
Now when ares is sent mail destined for list@ares.phys.utas.edu.au it will be sent to all
of the email addresses on the right.
Once you have made a new alias or mailing list, you need to restart sendmail to get it to be
recognised. This is done with the command /etc/init.d/sendmail restart.
