System Administration Tasks

This page explains how to do specific tasks with the PHP infrastructure.

To add somebody to the security@php.net alias, do the following steps:

1. Log into php-smtp4.php.net
2. Edit /etc/aliases-02fixed — Use @php.net email addresses when available.
3. A cronjob will automatically update /etc/aliases every minute.
4. The cronjob emails systems@php.net with changes to the aliases file.
5. Wait 5 minutes
6. Announce new additions (and removals) by sending an email to security@php.net containing the actions taken.
