local.users

local.users(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						    local.users(4)

NAME

       local.users - Specifies mail recipients on the local host.

DESCRIPTION

       The  local.users  file  contains  a  list  of  user names whose mail is to be delivered to the local host and whose return address is user-
       name@hostname.  Entries in the local.hosts file are in addition to other local users (such as root and postmaster). See sendmail.cf(4)  for
       a description of other local users.

       You  can  add  entries  to this file if the host is configured as a simple client and either of the following is true: The user wants their
       mail delivered on this machine rather than being forwarded to the mail server.  You are adding  aliases	to  the  /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
       file. When the host is configured as a simple client, the alias must be added to this file and the aliases file.

       A simple client is defined as a host that had the mail system configured using the MailConfig application from the System Management utili-
       ties or configured using the mailsetup utility's Quick Setup menu.

       The format of the file is as follows: User names are separated by blanks or new lines.  Multiple user name can  be  specified  on  a  line.
       Blank lines are ignored.  A comment mark (#) ends the line.

       After  modifying  the  local.users  file,  you  must  restart  the  sendmail  daemon  to  apply	the changes.  Use the following command: #
       /sbin/init.d/sendmail restart

EXAMPLES

       root postmaster rw  # A comment followed by an ignored blank line.

       # Another comment.  mariah    # Another comment.
	  carey  # Leading blanks are acceptable.

FILES

       Specifies the path name for the file.
