- I am at a site with two NeXT machines, and a plethora of Sun's/.... As you
- might expect, I manually administer my NeXT separately from what our mainstream
- administrator does.
-
- I would like the "Addresses" panel within Mail.app to contain the contents of
- our corporate smtp "aliases" file. Since we don't run Netinfo for any other
- systems, I have no idea where Mail.app get's its information. I can enter all
- the names manually, but our organization is large enough that a) this is
- sufficiently time consuming that it isn't worth the effort, and b) the list
- changes in some way virtually daily, and I'd spend forever making manual
- changes.
-
- So I need it done in some automated way. My NeXT machine can see the corporate
- aliases file (via NFS) but is there an automated way to get the information re:
- user names, groups, etc. in to the place where Addresses in the Mail.app are
- stored?
-
- There is another way to ask this question: if I were an all-NeXT site, where
- would this feature get it's info from?
