3. Copy the TCPIP$SMTP_LOCAL_ALIASES.TXT file to one of the following
locations:
• TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON, where each host listed in the
TCPIP$SMTP_LOCAL_ALIASES.TXT file receives clusterwide messages
• SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$SMTP] (local system use)
4. Stop and then restart SMTP for the change to take effect.
If SMTP cannot locate the TCPIP$SMTP_LOCAL_ALIASES.TXT file, it looks
for the file TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON:UCX$SMTP_LOCAL_ALIASES.TXT. This
ensures functionality for mixed clusters (that is, clusters running the current
version of TCP/IP Services and earlier versions of the product (UCX)), where the
TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON and UCX$SMTP_COMMON logicals point to the same
directory. Note that when SMTP looks for UCX$SMTP_LOCAL_ALIASES.TXT
it looks for it in the TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON: directory rather than in the
UCX$SMTP_COMMON: directory.
