Your Lyris server will accept any mail sent to any user on your machine. For instance, if your machine is named "clio.lyris.net". Any name on your machine will be accepted by Lyris. Thus, if you want to send the "lyris" account on your machine, you would send mail to "lyris@clio.lyris.net"
Lyris will respond to a number of different email addresses on your machine. These different email addresses are:
Email Address | Purpose |
Lyris@ | the address to send general Lyris commands, such as subscribe or unsubscribe notices. Lyris will also accept mail for most of the common list manager addresses . Example address: lyris@clio.lyris.net. Example command "subscribe jazz-discussion" |
Listname@ | the address for sending mail to all the members of a mailing list |
ListName-request@ | an alternative to Lyris@, this email address will accept all Lyris commands, except that the listname does not need to be specified in the command (but it will work fine if it is). Example address: jazz-discussion-request@clio.lyris.net. Example command: "subscribe" |
Auto-responder@ | If you set up an autoresponder, it will accept email at that name, and send the specified document back in response. Example address: "sales-brochure@clio.lyris.net" |
Owner-Listname@ | Mail sent to this address will be distributed to the owners of a mailing list who have specified that they want to receive owner mail. |
Lyris-Confirm@ | This email address is only used for receiving confirmation of new subscription messages. |
Lyris-Error@ | This email address is used to receive bounced email messages and automatically process them. You would never send mail to this address on purpose. |
