Managing mail with MMDF

Managing mail with MMDF

The installer of an SCO OpenServer(TM) system chooses between the Mail Transfer Agents MMDF and sendmail. Use this chapter for mail configuration and administration when your system uses MMDF (the Multichannel Memorandum Distribution Facility). For information about using sendmail, see ``sendmail administration''.

A newly installed SCO OpenServer system is configured to deliver electronic mail locally (between users on the system itself). Run the MMDF Configuration Manager if you want to configure your system to exchange mail with other machines, use a domain name server to deliver mail or redirect mail sent to special system accounts, such as root, mmdf, or postmaster.

For daily administration of your mail system, use the MMDF administration managers.
