NAME
smmaillist - manage email alias entries
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sadm/bin/smmaillist subcommand [ auth_args] --
[subcommand_args]
DESCRIPTION
The smmaillist command manages one or more email alias
entries for the appropriate files in the local /etc files name service or an NIS name service. subcommandssmmaillist subcommands are:
add Creates a new email alias definition and adds it to the appropriate files. To add an entry, the administrator must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.write authorization. delete Deletes an email alias entry. You can delete only one entry at a time. To delete an entry, the administrator must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.write authorization. Note:You cannot delete Postmaster or Mailer-Daemon
aliases. list Lists one or more email alias entries. To list an entry, the administrator must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.read authorization. modify Modifies an email alias entry. To modify an entry, the administrator must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.write authorization. OPTIONSThe smmaillist authentication arguments, auth_args, are
derived from the smc(1M) arg set and are the same regardlessof which subcommand you use. The smmaillist command requires
the Solaris Management Console to be initialized for the command to succeed (see smc(1M)). After rebooting theSolaris Management Console server, the first Solaris Manage-
ment Console connection might time out, so you might need to retry the command.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 11 Dec 2009 1
System Administration Commands smmaillist(1M)
The subcommand-specific options, subcommand_args, must come
after the auth_args and must be separated from them by the
-- option.
auth_args
The valid auth_args are -D, -H, -l, -p, -r, and -u; they are
all optional. If no auth_args are specified, certain
defaults will be assumed and the user may be prompted foradditional information, such as a password for authentica-
tion purposes. These letter options can also be specified by their equivalent option words preceded by a double dash. Forexample, you can use either -D or --domain with the domain
argument.-D | --domain 13;domain
Specifies the default domain that you want to manage.The syntax of domain is type:/host_name/domain_name,
where type is nis, dns, ldap, or file; host_name is the
name of the machine that serves the domain; anddomain_name is the name of the domain you want to
manage.If you do not specify this option, the Solaris Manage-
ment Console assumes the file default domain on whatever server you choose to manage, meaning that changes are local to the server. Toolboxes can change the domain ona tool-by-tool basis; this option specifies the domain
for all other tools.-H | --hostname 13;host_name:port
Specifies the host_name and port to which you want to
connect. If you do not specify a port, the system con-
nects to the default port, 898. If you do not specifyhost_name:port, the Solaris Management Console connects
to the local host on port 898. You may still have to choose a toolbox to load into the console. To overridethis behavior, use the smc(1M) -B option, or set your
console preferences to load a "home toolbox" by default.-l | --rolepassword 13;role_password
Specifies the password for the role_name. If you specify
a role_name but do not specify a role_password, the sys-
tem prompts you to supply a role_password. Passwords
specified on the command line can be seen by any user on the system, hence this option is considered insecure.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 11 Dec 2009 2
System Administration Commands smmaillist(1M)
-p | --password 13;password
Specifies the password for the user_name. If you do not
specify a password, the system prompts you for one. Passwords specified on the command line can be seen by any user on the system, hence this option is considered insecure.-r | --rolename 13;role_name
Specifies a role name for authentication. If you do not specify this option, no role is assumed.-u | --username 13;user_name
Specifies the user name for authentication. If you do not specify this option, the user identity running the console process is assumed.--
This option is required and must always follow the preceding options. If you do not enter the precedingoptions, you must still enter the -- option.
