Hi JR
>> It's not in /etc/aliases or any /etc/postfix/* files
proxmox-mail-forward uses the .forward mechanism to “catch” emails sent to
root (or any other user) - see aliases(5).
root@pve:~# cat ~/.forward
|/usr/bin/proxmox-mail-forward
root@pve:~# grep ^user:root /etc/pve/user.cfg
user:root@pam:1:0:::[email protected]:::
The user:root@pam entry in user.cfg is where the email address went that you
entered during installation.
Lukas Wagner briefly described the mechanism in this

forum post.

What he described is the legacy mode

for sending notification emails.
