Topic: admin email

[Karl Ponsonby]

Hi all,
Does anybody know or aware of a way to add another email address (making two) to the admin address. What I want is a forward to my address and to my pager as well.
Thanks,
Karl

Try this:

Go in and set up an account for your pager.  Call it User.Pager@somedomain.com.

Set that account to forward all e-mail to the pagers "real" e-mail address. (ie pager-pin@pager.net)  Make sure you leave that account locked, there is no reason it should log in.

Next set up a group called admin.alerts.  Assign both your userids (User and now User.Pager) to that group.

An e-mail to admin.alerts@somedomain.com, should now go to both addresses.

Finish up by going in to the "Other e-mail settings" portion of the server-manager and putting admin.alerts@somedomain.com in the box labeled "Forwarding address for administrative notices:" at the top of the screen.  Save your changes and you should be good to go.

Hope that works for you.
