RE: [cobalt-users] Monitoring Outgoing email (or sending outgoing email to another box)



The correct format is:

monitoredmailbox:  monitoredmailbox,ceo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

then do not forget to run

/usr/sbin/newaliases

Thanks for the info.  Bit confused.  I've accessed the alias file and am
trying to figure out what to do now.

First there is no alias for the mailbox that needs to be monitored so I'm
confused as to who username1 should be (first occurrence above), and who
username1 (second occurrence) should be.

Here's what I'm thinking:

monitoredmailbox:  ceo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is that right??
