- We have a big mailing list being setup for a conference in 93, and there
- will eventually be thousands of people on it. What I need is a way to make
- sure some bozo doesn't reply to the message and send out copies to everyone
- on the list. So I need to find a way to modify the "To:" field so that
- it doesn't say "To: some-list@inet93.stanford.edu" so when someone on the
- list gets the message they wont know what the "internal" name of the list
- is. We have about 5 people that should be able to send mail to this mailing
- list.
-
- The system config is:
-
- DECstation 5000/240
- Ultrix 4.2a
- Sendmail 5.65
- /etc/aliases entry which points to a file containing everyone
-
-
- Is there a way to modify sendmail.cf so that it modifies the "To:" field on
- outgoing mail sent to this list? For example:
-
- User A sends mail to:
-
- big-list@inet3.stanford.edu
-
- All the user's on the list receive the mail as being sent to:
-
- "small-list@inet3.stanford.edu"
-
- So if someone replys they will be replying to "small-list" and not the big one.
-
- Thanks for any help!
