If you want to be simple about it, you can just have a file with the
names, let's say /etc/allusers and have the following in /etc/aliases:
all: :include:/etc/allusers
Run newaliases to update the alias list. Mail sent to all will go to each user
in the file. The names can be any valid name, e.g. fred, [EMAIL PROTECTED],
uucp!flinstone!fred, etc. Put one name per line.
Any easy way to create the file would be
cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '($2 > 100) {print $1}' >/etc/allusers
This will ignore root, bin, etc.
