Our company has been without an "email administrator" for over a month,
and I need instructions for adding an email account on our domain, as

We have a dedicated email server (on the Linux 2.0.0 OS). I'm not sure
if there is a specific program running on it for email handling; if
there is, i think it is called "Mail." I have figured out very basic
maneuvers-- navigating to the /home directory, where all the user
folders exist. I've added a folder there whose name corresponds with
the name on the new account I want to add. I know the root password.

I would greately appreciate any insights on this.
Sincerely,
Rithy

When you add a new user account you can setup a maiulbox for that user at
the same time. Do not manually add a directory to the /hone directory -
let the adduser or useradd programme do that for you. There is a file
called .aliases if I remember from last summer (I have been stuck working
in an NT environment since then - ARGH!). If you are unsure of how to do
this, I suggest you hire someone experienced with Linux for one hour to
set-up the account(s) for your company.

The alias file is kept in /etc/aliases After you edit this file you must
run newaliases for the the file to be rehashed.

If I understand you correctly, you want to add a new user whose mail will
automatically come to you. Do this.

logon as root.
'locate' adduser (usually in /sbin) .. then
#/sbin/adduser (answer the questions - accept the default values for GID
and UID and make 'shell'=/bin/false)
navigate to the new (/home/xyz) directory and create the '.forward' file:
#pico .forward (don't forget the 'dot')
this file will have exactly one line of text:

to save the file press:
control+x then y then <enter>

you're done.

let's ride
