Chris: One of the company I work for has qmail with 200 users. They have to patch a system file which require that the system be re-booted.

RE: Broadcast Message??
Rick: Thank you for your excellent suggestion. Unfortunately, the current system, as it stands today, does not have this software installed. The reason we want to broadcast an email message is so that current users of the system know a planned shutdown of the system so a patch can be installed. I will look into vpopmail package ( I know nothing about it ) and maybe use it in the future. Thanks again.

No this is not spam, but there are alternatives: Create a mailinglist where every user is subscribed (automatically when- ever a new user is added to the system). Have this list moderated by the sysadmin. Now the sysadmin is able to send mails to everyone. Use newsgroups.

New Broadcast Message!!!
Hi All: Previously I posted a message under heading Broadcast Message and got some good suggestions. I also got a response whereas the person responding thought that I was try to send spam. After reading my original posting, I think I need to clarify what I am doing and what I need (previously I did not do it to keep the message short). So here is the question: Our company has a mail server. It has RH 6.2 and Qmail 1.3 and very much else. This server serves to about 200 email addresses. We need to install a patch which will require the system to be re-booted. Therefore, we would like to send an email message to all the emails addresses on our company's mail server, informing them of coming re-boot. Any suggestion?? Kirti

It's already been suggested that you create a mailing list containing
all users. Is that unacceptable for some reason?
Here's a quick and dirty method:
$ awk -F: '{print $1}' /etc/passwd ~/.qmail-all-users
$ #optional: edit ~/.qmail-all-users, remove system accounts
$ cat msg MSG
From: kbajwa
To: kbajwa-all-users
Subject: Reboot
blah blah blah
MSG
$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject msg
$

Why do you have to notify them.plus as a general rult of thumb any major upgrades should be done in the early morning when nobody's using the system. Why have 200 people asking why outlook pops up an stupid error message when you don't have to :-) what are you patching? the only thing we have to reboot for is hardware replacement and new kernels..everything else can be patched or compiled withoug rebooting. ~kurth Kurth Bemis Senior Network Admin/Owner: USAExpress.net Owner: Ozone Computer http://kurth.hardcrypto.com PGP Key Avail. - Uh!.Uh!.Uh!.I'm done with thisOut the window On Fri, 8 Jun 2001, Kirti S.

RE: New Broadcast Message!!!
Kurth: Why do you have to notify them... You got me there, so I had to ask. The machine which is handling qmail also has a modem card (96 ports) where people dial-in. A patch is being installed into the modem software. It seems that most of the people are constantly logged into this machine. Now do not ask me why? It does not matter when the updates are done, the management still would like to inform people, several times, before the system is re-booted. Just say good service. Any suggestions.
