In my sudoers file it looks like this;

Defaults mailto="admin@foobar.com,admin2@roobar.com,admin3@nobar.com"

Or you can set up alias list in your /etc/aliases file and set up your sudoers file like below.

Defaults mailto="sudo-admin"

Hope this helps.

Thanks your response.

I tried Defaults mailto = "admin1@com, admin2@com,admin3@com", no email sent out. If only mailto="admin1@.com", it works.

Defaults mailto="sudo-admin"
in /etc/aliases: sudo-admin: admin1@com,admin2@com
is that correct?

Yes I have seen different examples on ways to set up the mailto part so I am guessing it depends on what version of sudo.

If you entered mailto="admin1@.com" and sudo did not complain when you saved the file then I would expect if you wanted to use an mail alias you would enter in your sudoers file for example;

mailto="sudo-admin"

instead of the email address entry. Then in your /etc/aliases file you would put an entry like you listed in the previous post. The "sudo-admin" part is up to you, you can call it whatever you want.

Mine looks just like you have it. Don't forget to run /usr/sbin/newaliases so that it re-reads the aliases file or from my testing it won't read the changes.

So "tail -f /var/log/maillog" on the system and open a second terminal window to test sudo and watch for the email messages to roll through.

I also entered

Defaults mail_always

in the sudoers file. From what I read that will email you on all sudo activity.

Hope this helps.
