Hi, Dan
Thank you very much! But After i make some changes it is:
majordomo:"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo:huanglp,
majordomo-owner:huanglp
I execute the 'newaliases' command and returned a message it is:
' Couldn't open /root/.elm/aliases.text for input!'
and I can not find the /root/.elm/aliases.text file.
Where do i set the test@neteye.neu-alpine.com 's alias? And how to set?
Can you send some examples for setting a new list? Thank you in advance!
