aliasing the TO name in Unix mails
HI All,
I have a small question/clarification/doubt . Does anyone know how to provide alias in the mails that come from Unix servers.
Like i have a Unix server that generates status mails every hour for a scheduled job , it sends me mails with status with the ID in from field as "root@xyzsym.com" ( my server name) .
Some times when i add a new user to this then the new user finds the mails in Junk mail box as this is not a valid mail and this in not in his outlook contacts). Can there be aliasing provided in the mailx command to chnage the to field of the server from 'root@xyzsym.com' to 'alert-status@sym.com' ?
Please let me know
Thanks,
Sandeep

doveadm-mount
DOVEADM-MOUNT(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-MOUNT(1)
NAME
doveadm-mount - Manage the list of mountpoints where mails are stored
SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] mount command [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
The doveadm mount commands can be used to manage the list of mountpoints where mails are stored. This is used mainly for better error han-
dling when a mountpoint isn't mounted for some reason:
* If a mail directory doesn't exist, it's autocreated. If the user's mails aren't mounted and filesystem permissions still allow the
autocreation, the user will see an empty mailbox and later will have to redownload all mails. If the mountpoint is known to be
unmounted, Dovecot will simply fail opening any mailboxes.
* If dbox alternate storage isn't mounted and a mail in it is attempted to be accessed, Dovecot normally rebuilds the indexes and notices
that all the mails in alt storage are expunged. When the alt storage is mounted back and even if index is again rebuilt, the mails
won't necessarily become visible anymore for IMAP clients. If the mountpoint is known to be unmounted, Dovecot won't rebuild indexes
and lose the mails.
Dovecot automatically adds mountpoints to this list at startup. If you don't want some of the mountpoints added, you can add a wildcard
ignore for it.
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-f formatter
Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are:
flow prints each line with key=value pairs.
pager prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L).
tab prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines.
table prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.
-v Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
ARGUMENTS
path The directory name of a mountpoint
state The state of a mountpoint. Either online or ignore.
COMMANDS
mount add
doveadm mount add [path [state]]
If this command is run without any parameters, doveadm detects all missing mountpoints and adds them (the same way as when Dovecot does at
startup).
When a mountpoint path is given, it's added as a mountpoint. The state can currently be either "online" (default) or "ignore". The ignore
state is mainly useful with path wildcards to add mountpoints that you never want Dovecot to automatically add, such as: doveadm mount add
'/mnt/*' ignore
mount list
doveadm [-Dv ] [-f formatter] mount list
This command lists the mountpoints known to Dovecot and their state.
mount remove
doveadm mount remove path
This command removes the specified path from the mountpoint list.
