Adding members to a Public Distribution List

[RichY]

I am adding users to a PDL using the command:

omaddpdln -l Investors -n ddv1=richie.rich@richindustries.com/ou1=internet -x

Everything works OK, but I'd like to know more about the makeup of the O/R address.

What does the "ddv1=" and "ou1=" means? Are there differnet options available?

I've been looking for some documentation about this but haven't been able to find anything? If there's some docs you know of can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

The ddv1 value indicates the email address of the user in question. The OU1 value indicates the mailnode on which it should be routed.

You can check your mailnode routing with omshowrt -q all. I have an entry

Code: Select all

UNIX       internet                                        MIME

which indicates there's a mailnode route called "internet" that will be sent to the "UNIX" gateway as "MIME".

The -x indicates that no cross-reference should be done to find a primary user (if it's outside your organisation, it won't exist as a local user).
