Auto Responder Mail
Dear All, I would like to setup autoresponder mail for customer services. For eg, if someone send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], mail server should send information from file to sender IMMEDIATELY ( if we can include attach file, it will be OK ). My question is, can we make such auto-responder with Sendmail or we have to use other 3rd party mail products.

Re: How to send a global email with sendmail
If you want to send all users on one system , then you can use cut or awk
Using cut,
mail `cut -d : -f 1 /etc/passwd` 499 {print $1}' /etc/passwd` 499 {print $1'.
Note:- You must use back quote in quoting.

Re: Red Hat 9.0 One user and multiple mailboxes.
For one mailbox, multiple users, add aliases entry in /etc/aliase file like this users:[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] then as root root#sendmail -bi now if u send mail to users, the message will be received by [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] for local users, u can omit domain name for more info refers to aliases manual --> for one user with multiple mailboxes, use /etc/aliase file also. Add one aliases entries for each mail boxes, user_a:bob user_b:bob user_c:bob then as root root#sendmail -bi now if u send mail to user_a or user_b or user_c will be redirected to bob (which is local user bob).

Re: boot problem
TO mount to the correct /root partition, you can pass kernel parameters if you use LILO boot manager when u see LILO prompt. Such as LILOboot: linux root=/dev/hda_X When RH8.0 booting is OK, make sure not to mount RH7.3 / as RH8.0's mount point for checking filesytems on RH7.3. Checking mounted filesystem can cause servere damage to the filesystem. You shuould check RH7.3 / filesystems before mounting with #fsck /dev/hdc And when it is OK, you should mount under RH8.0. Could u please give more info what u have done b4 the problems occur. And whether u use LILO, GURB or other third-party boot managers such as System Commander, Boot Magic, etc..
