Created page with "<center> '''Back to Step 07''' </center> The following are not required and are optional. ===Setup the email aliases=== Now we need to forw..."

New page

<center>
'''[[SUNScholar/Prepare Ubuntu/S07|Back to Step 07]]'''
</center>

The following are not required and are optional.
===Setup the email aliases===
Now we need to forward any email sent to local accounts on the server to email accounts of persons responsible for the repository.

The "root" and "dspace user" email address forwarding are setup as follows.

Type the following.
sudo nano /etc/aliases
Add aliases as per example below:
<pre>
# Added by installer for initial user
root: me@my.edu.ac.za
dspace: me@my.edu.ac.za
</pre>
''Change the '''me@my.edu.ac.za''' to your email address.''

To activate the new aliases type the following:
sudo newaliases

===Send a test email to root===
Install the command line mailer program as follows:
sudo apt-get install mailutils
Now we can send a test email to the root user by typing as follows:
mail -s "Test Email from root" root
Press the "Enter" key and type some message content. Press '''CTL+D''' twice and then '''Enter''' to send the mail.

Check the following log for any delivery errors as follows:
sudo tail -n 20 /var/log/mail.log
If there are no delivery errors then your mail server is setup.
