- I have 2 questions that other may have had to solve:
- System: DECsystem 5000/200, Ultrix 4.2C, sendmail 5.65c+IDA 1.4.4.1
-
- 1. I have some users whose accounts are currently disabled (let us not
- go into why). VMS provides the flags DISUSER,DISMAIL. I would like to
- do something similar. I know I could probably alias the names and send
- the input to /dev/null but I would like to be a little friendlier,
- that is, provide information back to the sender that the account is
- disabled.
-
- 2. Some users join mailing lists and then don't sign off. Mail keeps
- pouring in. I would like the mail file to be one in their directory. I
- know that this was discussed earlier -- the suggestion being that this
- required rewriting/replacing /bin/mail. Any other alternatives?
