Note: We recommend that you reserve the email account admin for
system messages and alerts only, and that you do not publicize this
admin account. To send comments or suggestions to the Qube 3
Administrator, create instead an email alias such as sysadmin for
that user.
For information on how to add an email alias, see “Adding an email
alias for a user” on page 112.
