Sun Microsystems Netra - 6 Mail Administration; Mail Return Address

Mail Administration
6
The Netra server is configured to be a mail gateway between clients on your
LAN and the Internet. The Mail module is used to set the return address on
outgoing mail and to administer mail aliases.
Note – For mail services to work correctly, your name service must have an
entry for each network interface on the Netra server.
Mail Return Address
The mail return address is set for all mail originating on the Netra server. You
have the option of including the Netra server host name in the return address.
For example, suppose your Netra server’s host name is stimpy, and your
domain (set by the Name Service module) is tv.net (see Figure 1-1 in
Chapter 1, “Overview”). The possible return addresses for mail sent by the
user setup on stimpy.tv.net are:
• setup@stimpy.tv.net
• setup@tv.net
If the second return address (stimpy@tv.net) is used, then the DNS database
must have a mail address record. If the Netra server is acting as your primary
DNS server, this record can be added in the Mail Servers field, as follows:
Mail Address: tv.net; Preference: 1; Mail Servers: stimpy. (See Chapter
7, Name Service Administration, for more information on DNS databases and
servers.)
