    Question Sending mail to all users with Postfix

    Hi,

    I can't find a decent solution for my problem.

    I'm using Postfix + mailx + Courier POP3 + Courier IMAP

    Problem: I want to be able to sent an email to all Users. For example an email sent from "sender@localhost" to all user@localhost (e.g user1, user2, ...).

    please Help me

    I am not familiar with postfix, but would there be a distribution list that you can create that has all the users in it?

    got me, do you have webmin installed, its an easy way to make modifications to some of the server apps.

    You could setup Mailman for a mailing list and add everyone to a list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman

    Or you could could create an alias in /etc/aliases and make everyone you want a member of it...
    Code:
    allusers: user1, user2, user3, user4

    If you install postfixadmin it has a point where you can send all an email.
    It doesn't aways happen straight away. But time has a way of leveling everything!!!
