Often you want to have an email that contains some basic

information waiting for a new user While this feature is

available from both the command line and the administrator's console, the documentation often only provides examples for the administrator's console, as it is much easier to do from the console Many customers want to configure this from the

command line

For more details, refer to Chapter 2 of the Sun ONE Messaging Server Administration Guide.

The following steps are required when the Messaging Server is running:

1 Use su to go to mailsrv, where mailsrv is the UNIX or

system user ID under which the Messaging Server is running Since you used "nobody" during the install:

# su - nobody

Change to the messaging instance for which you want

to enable SSO, /msg-Home/msg-Instance/:

# cd /msg-Home/msg-Instance/

# cd /A1000/demo6789/ims5/msg-sparc5-1

where msg-Home is the directory where the messaging

software was installed, and Instance is the name of the

messaging instance (install), often the hostname (short host

name)

# /configutil | grep gen.newuserforms

Edit or create a welcome message (email format

including headersminimum of subject):

# vi welcome.txt

You must at least have a "Subject: {subject}" header

Example:

"Subject: Welcome!

This is a welcome message."

is OK, but not:

"This is a welcome message."

Set the welcome message.

# /configutil -o gen.newuserforms -v < welcome.txt
