NAME

lat-pseudonyms - The lazy administrator's tool to add pseudonyms

DESCRIPTION

Adds or deletes e-mail pseudonyms to existing user or group accounts on Mitel's SME servers (5.x/6.x). This tool is functionally equivalent to the 'Pseudonyms' option in the server-manager, but can be run from the command line or called from an other script. It allows you, for example, to create a large number of e-mail aliases in a batch process, or delete the standard pseudonyms on a remote machine via an ssh console.

See /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools/example.pseudonyms for the format of the input file.
