Assigning Mail IDs

Normally a user's login name is used as identification in a mail address. As an alternative, you can disassociate login names from mail addresses by assigning a Mail ID for each user. To do so, define the MMAILID parameter in the /usr/mmdf/mmdftailor file to be 1.

Then map Mail IDs to login names in two table files: users and mailids. The location of these table files is defined by MTBLDIR in mmdftailor; the default is /usr/mmdf/tables. Each table has lines with two entries per line (user and Mail ID, or Mail ID and user). The users file is used to map user names (login ids) to Mail IDs, for example:

   rogerr	Roger

   Roger rogerr
