(Makes sense on a mostly single user system.) Could you please provide more detail how to acheive it. I expect to send and receive email in User=satimis account not as root. The recipient can't recognize the emails coming from root. Beside in case of virus attack root will not be affected. # cat /etc/mail/aliases # Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.
