On a machine that hosts domains, the file could be called anything
and located anywhere. Look for /etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases
as a flat text file. If your MTA is other than sendmail, that hint
might not be worth the electrons that sent it either. You edit the
file with your favorite text editor like vi, emacs, or pico.
The line you want to replace should look something like this;
lourds_announcements: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l lourds_announcements lourds_announcements-list,nobody"
when you modify it, it should look like this;
lourds_announcements: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l lourds_announcements lourds_announcements-list,lourds@lourdsmusic.com,bkoopers@optonline.net"
Depending on the location for the majordomo wrapper, the path above
could be different. The example I used is from a redhat installation.
Also, your outgoing alias might be named different. The example I
used "lourds_announcements-list" might have a different extension to
replace "list" with "outgoing", "20050220", or any random string.

PS. Both of the examples above are on a single line, just in case
this email gets long lines wrapped into multiple lines.
