[comp.unix.xenix] Machine Aliases

amos@placer1.COM (Kevin Amos) (10/12/89)

Could someone please tell me how to set up a machine alias
under SCO 286 Xenix.

What I am trying to do is use a machine alias with mail.
This would allow me to use a label to send mail to a fax
software package.

example: mail eng!Kevin.Amos

I would like eng expanded to fax!999999!Kevin.Amos

The user will vary.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

  The smail package may be of use to you. It will provide automatic
routing, which may be useful in your case. Source is in the archives.
