How to create and activate new "@cs.uwaterloo.ca" mail aliases

1. Use RCS revision control to update the file

   cs-xh-admin:/.software/admin/cscf-specfic/export/aliases

2. Distribute the new /.software/admin/cscf-specfic/export/aliases from host "cs-xh-admin" to the CSCF mail server "mx-104":

    
        root@cs-xh-admin:~#
        root@cs-xh-admin:~# xh-distribute -h mx-104.cs.uwaterloo.ca cscf-specific
        xh-distribute FYI: "cscf-specific" package maintainer: arpepper@uwaterloo.ca
        xh-distribute FYI: rdist output of the "cscf-specific" package from "cs-xh-admin.cs.private.uwaterloo.ca" follows:
          updating host mx-104.cs.uwaterloo.ca
            special: xh-update-syslog-conf: can't find SYSLOG to ask it to reread configuration.
         
        root@cs-xh-admin:~#
   

3. Restart the Sendmail daemon on mx-104:

        root@mx-104:~#
        root@mx-104:~#  service sendmail restart
        * Restarting Mail Transport Agent (MTA) sendmail
          ...done.
   
        root@mx-104:~#
   

Note the use of the Fully Qualified Domain Name for mx-104 (ie mx-104.cs.uwaterloo.ca) in the "xh-distribute" command above. Using just the hostname "mx-104" will cause a silent failure of the xheir package distribution, ie no "xh-distribute FYI:" information.
