Re: [newbie] Global Email List for local users on Network?

Hi All,

This will definitely look funny. I asked the question and now I'm replying 
to my own submission!!

Anyway, I just found out that Linux/Mandrake DOES NOT support such a list!! 
Which is good. Even though now I have to manually type up all my users and 
email them through BCC to avoid further spam complications.

Thanks again to those who have helped,

Karotu

Hi there,

I'm currently administrating a small dial-up network/domain with the help 
of webmin. At time to time, I wish to send an important notice to all 
users registered on the network. Does Mandrake or Webmin have a sort of a 
global email address that will automatically represents ALL users on the 
network rather than having to copy all the users and then update the list 
whenever there is a change?

I actually have done that hard part now but I know I have left out the 
extra email aliases in Postfix. I do hope there is a global list that 
exist so that I could email everybody straight away.

Also, I am worried that if the list exists, are there limitations on who 
can send such emails? I certainly don't want spammers on my network.

Thanks again in advance,

Karotu

What about using the MajorDOMO list service? WebMin has plugins for
it...

You should be able to create a user group (unix group) and then add
whomever you wish to have in it - then you should be able to send email
to that group...

Where dyads tread the fairy fields of Venn,
Their indices bedecked from one to _n,
Commingled in an endless Markov chain!
