The Add Alias Wizard is a powerful iRoot
Wizard which provides a convenient way to add an alias to your
Virtual Server without having to manually edit your "~/etc/aliases"
file. Capability to configure simple email aliases as well as
"include lists" and autoresponders is available. Depending on
which alias type you select, the wizard will prompt you for
different values. After you have added the alias, the wizard will
remind you to rebuild the aliases file (using the
vnewaliases Wizard).
Flowchart of the Add Alias Wizard
Add Alias Wizard - Alias Name
Enter the name of the alias. You will send mail to this alias
using the address- "aliasname".
| |
New Alias Wizard - Alias Type
You have three choices on the type of alias for
"info"- simple, include list, or autoreply.
Select "simple" if you just need an alias for one or more addresses
that will be included in the alias file on a single line. Select
"list" if you want an alias to a larger list. The larger list
consists of a set of email addresses, each on a separate line, and
is stored in a separate file (referenced using an :include:
statement). Select "autoreply" if you would like the alias to
act as an agent which responds by echoing the contents of a file
stored external of the alias file.

Add Alias Wizard - Autoreply (Other Mail Aliases)
Your new autoreply alias has the form of:
info: OTHER_MAIL_ADDRESS(ES), "|/usr/bin/autoreply -f NAME -m MESSAGE -a info"
The specification of other email addresses in the autoreply alias
allows the mail that is sent to the autoresponder to also be sent to
the mail address(es) specified as "OTHER_MAIL_ADDRESS(ES)".
Without a specification of other email addresses, the mail from the
customer will not be seen.

Your new autoreply alias has the form of:
info: webmaster, "|/usr/bin/autoreply -f NAME -m MESSAGE -a info"
The "-f" allows you to change what address will be listed
in the "From:" field in the message the customer reveives
from the autoresponder. In the example above, the "From:"
field will have the value "NAME".
| |
Add Alias Wizard - Autoreply (Message)
Your new autoreply alias has the form of:
info: webmaster, "|/usr/bin/autoreply -f webmaster -m MESSAGE -a info"
The "-m" allows you to specify a file that contains the
message the customer receives from the autoresponder. If no message is
specified, the autoresponder will send back the contents of the ".autoreply"
file in your Virtual Server home directory. If you would like to
create a new message file for the autoresponder, select the "Create
