Thank you! I just wasn't sure if using it as an alias changed things. Since it doesn't seem to, It's probably easier just to use the command line every time I send one of these, and forget about the alias approach.

The email body comes from the text file that you will specify, giving path and file name. If you if you use mailall -h ALL, it will, indeed, send to all accounts under all domains on the server. If you wish to send only to one domain (or host as Imail refers to them) then you must replace "ALL" with the host name. I have used mailall.exe with some frequency for broadcast messages to our users. It works great but there is no room for error in the command line. Here are the step-by-step instructions I wrote for my co-works when I went on maternity leave: Open a DOS Window. Change to the Imail directory. Type: mailall -h ALL -f "sending address" -s "msg subject" path/name to text file with body of message. If you wish to send to all users on a particular domain, rather than all users on the server, subsitute the hostname (mail.domainname.ext) for ALL. Hope that helps! ~Katie -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jeff Demel Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 9:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] one more try - mailall.exe question If I create a program alias with the following "Resolves To" value: mailall -h ALL -f myemailaddress -s "subject line" and I then send an e-mail to this alias, will the email body I send to it be sent to all users on all domains, or does mailall.exe require a text file for the body? Something like this: mailall -h ALL -f myemailaddress -s "subject line" c:\message.txt ? Any help would be appreciated. -Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
