You should setup an alias in /etc/aliases to deliver root's mail to a normal user account, or to a specified email address. If the mail is to be sent to root on the local machine, then root@localhost will work. The alias I referred to above will forward it to the correct human being's account. If the mail is sent from another machine, then root@[123.123.123.123] is the format to use. The square brackets are required. They indicate that the destination host part is literal, and need not be resolved using MX records. It's a deprecated syntax, but most MTAs still handle it correctly. Tony - -- Anthony E.
