How to change default email sent to new users

calivw78 · January 18, 2002, 9:49am

Hello all,
I have a question about the email that is sent to new users when they first check their email. The message is directly from the server and says something like "Welcome to "mailserver", you login is atypical." Where is this message? Can I change the message that is sent? Were running SCO. Thanks for the help.

what mailserver do you use?

You might check the program that you use to create users. There may be a script connected that executes "mailx" to send a default file to the new users.

(called in some useradd program) --mailx -s "Welcome to Mailserver" userid < /tmp/some/welcome/file
