You can use the message to introduce yourself, so recipients know the email is
genuine. Example: Hi, I’m the administrator for our server, myserver.example.com. If
you need help setting up your computer to get services from it, please don’t hesitate to
send me an email or call me at 310-555-4357. —Bill
Recipients see your name and message in a boxed section set apart from the standard
message text that the server generates.
Customizing the Group Invitation Email
You can use Server Preferences to add your name, email address, and a personal
introduction to the standard email message that your server can send to tell new
external members of a group how to use the group’s services. The standard message
specifies the group name and the server’s DNS name, and it explains the services that
the server provides. The standard message also includes links to available file sharing
and group services.
You can select an option to send the email when you add users or groups from your
organization’s directory server as external members of a group on your server. The
server sends the invitation to email addresses that already exist in each new external
member’s user account. The server doesn’t sent the invitation to a new external
member whose user account doesn’t contain an email address.
