Managing mail with MMDF

Unable to reply to mail from a Micnet host

When a host is running MMDF and is connected to a non-MMDF computer via Micnet, mail users on the MMDF machine are unable to reply to mail originated on the non-MMDF machine.

To allow mail replies between an MMDF and non-MMDF systems via Micnet, a global alias file must be maintained on each machine. Use netutil(ADM) to create a global alias file on the non-MMDF machine and to distribute the file to MMDF machines. On the MMDF machines, use mmdfalias(ADM) to convert the global alias file to MMDF style:

Copy the non-MMDF global alias file to /usr/lib/mail/aliases.
Log in as mmdf and change to the /usr/mmdf/table directory.

Run the commands:

   /usr/mmdf/table/tools/mmdfalias
   dbmbuild

NOTE: Any modifications to the global alias file must be made using netutil and distributed again.
