I am at a site with two NeXT machines, and a plethora of Sun's/.... As you might expect, I manually administer my NeXT separately from what our mainstream administrator does. I would like the "Addresses" panel within Mail.app to contain the contents of our corporate smtp "aliases" file. Since we don't run Netinfo for any other systems, I have no idea where Mail.app get's its information. I can enter all the names manually, but our organization is large enough that a) this is sufficiently time consuming that it isn't worth the effort, and b) the list changes in some way virtually daily, and I'd spend forever making manual changes. So I need it done in some automated way. My NeXT machine can see the corporate aliases file (via NFS) but is there an automated way to get the information re: user names, groups, etc. in to the place where Addresses in the Mail.app are stored? There is another way to ask this question: if I were an all-NeXT site, where would this feature get it's info from? -- Jay Batson Product Marketing Cayman Systems, Inc. jbatson@cayman.com (617) 494-1999
