corresponding entry box. The user ID entered may be a local user (i.e. "mary") or a user on another
host (i.e. "scooter@adminsys"). You may want to limit the types of messages that are emailed to the
user. To do so, select the arrow-button next to the Messages to mail field, and select either
All

Append to file
Rather than sending mail, you want messages to be appended to a text file on the admin system,
select this option, and enter the name of the file in the corresponding entry box. If the file does not
already exist, it will be created when the first message is written. If it already exists, messages will be
appended to the bottom of the file. Messages in this file will look similar to the following:
