I'm toying with the "options autosupport.to" and am trying to put a alias in there as I have it defined in my NIS "aliases" map. The docs say up to 5 addresses can be in there but I want just one, my alias.
My specifics:
DOT = 6.5.4 autosupport.support.transport smtp autosupport.mailhost {our smtp relay host which has an alias set up, that works from other Unix Hosts}
When I do a "autosupport.doit" the error message is "Unknown User".
Anybody fiddle with this before?
You say your smtp relay host understands the alias, so you should probably set your autosupport.to like this:
options autosupport.to alias@smtp-relay-host.rr.com
The filer will send one email to the alias on the relay host and the relay will resend the email to all the addresses in the alias. The filer itself isn't going to expand email aliases.
