Administering a local MMDF system

For information on administering a networked MMDF system, or on administering mail using MMDF over UUCP dialup connections, please see ``Managing mail with MMDF''. If your system uses sendmail, see ``sendmail administration''.

A newly installed SCO OpenServer system is configured to exchange mail locally. Run the MMDF Configuration Manager to perform additional MMDF configuration after installation. See also ``Testing MMDF configuration''.

Once you configure MMDF, a local mail system requires minimal administration. As mail administrator for a stand-alone system, you should:

• Maintain system-wide aliases and mailing lists.

• Monitor mail queues and clean outdated mail from them periodically.

• Monitor log files in the /usr/mmdf/log directory and remove them as necessary.

• Monitor disk space used in the /usr/spool/mail directory where mail is received, and in the /usr/spool/mmdf directory where queued mail is stored. See the du(C) and df(C) manual pages.

• ``Adding or removing a mail user''

• ``Specifying the location of user mailboxes''.

• ``Specifying the MMDF ``signature''''.

• ``The mmdftailor file''.
