Mail forwarding

Synapse is using an email service (an MTA) called Postfix. Some scripts will send email alerts to aliases that should then be forwarded to the appropriate recipients.

The aliases are configure in /etc/aliases. Currently I've added 2 aliases:

# added email forwarding

fma-team: det@uw.edu, mejino@uw.edu, brinkley@uw.edu

ocdm-team: det@uw.edu, mejino@uw.edu, brinkley@uw.edu

After altering this file, you must run the command 'newaliases' (without the quotes). This will rebuild the Postfix database from the aliases file.

NOTE: At present the system will only send out emails to these addresses if they originate internally. It is not configured to handle mail coming from outside of the server.

You can test either redirect like so:

echo "Testing email forwarding" | mail -s "email test" fma_team (or ocdm-team)
