This topic provides information on creating the
shadow mailbox. The shadow mailbox is a special mailbox that ELA uses
to distribute messages. The use of a shadow mailbox prevents replies to
ELA-delivered messages from being sent back to the entire enhanced list.
The shadow mailbox must belong to a community that cannot receive messages.
To create the shadow mailbox:
- Start at the Administration
main menu and select:
Global Administration
Messaging Administration
The system displays the SSH
User Authentication dialog box. Enter your login, for example, sa or vm,
in the User name field and your password in the Password
field. Click Login. The system then displays the AUDIX
Command Prompt screen.
- At the
enter
command: prompt, enter add subscriber.
The system displays the
Subscriber screen, Page 1.
- For the Name
field, enter a name that is useful to your subscribers, such as "Mailing
List" or Enhanced-Lists Postmaster."
- For the
Extension field, enter an
unused extension at which you want the shadow mailbox to be located.
Make sure that this extension is not administered as a station on the
switch.
- For the
COS field, enter
the ELA class-of-service name or number (the example uses 8).
- In the
Community ID field,
enter the number of the shadow mailbox community you created (the example
uses 11).
- Press F3
(Enter) to save this information to the system database.
The cursor returns to the
command line, and the system displays the following message:
Command Successfully
Completed
- Enter another
administrative command at the
enter command: prompt or
click Return to Main.
