Hi everyone,

I bought a Sun-Netra for hosting the web page for my office. The 
Netra came configured for e-mail and web server.

However, I am trying to set up Newsserver for our clients. Could 
you please direct me to the resources that can help me setup the 
news server. Please, be aware I am very,very new to Unix. 

I also need help in automatically forwarding mail to different 
address, if the user has an account on an another system...

Thank you in advance...( You could also e-mail me at 
rajraj@vconsult.com ).

Raj

I can't help you about the newsserver....

But forwarding the mail are no problem.
Just create a file called .forward (don't forget the dot)
in the users homedirectory. This file contains the mailadress
which the mail are being forwarded to.

How about the news software newsgroups?  Specifically, I expect you'll
be looking for news.software.nntp.  Before that though, reading the
documentation for whatever news server you're using would be smart.

That depends on what mail transport you're using, which you didn't say.
Presumably it's sendmail on a sun, in which case you're looking for the
group comp.mail.sendmail.  Reading the docs first would be a good idea,
as you'll probably end up choosing between an alias, or a .forward file.
