In your /etc/ directory you will find a file called aliases. At the bottom of the file you will see this line: # Person who should get root's mail #root: marc
Change that to something like this # Person who should get root's mail root: john That would deliver roots email to john on THAT local machine. You can also do this: # Person who should get root's mail root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And if you want multiple people to get roots mail you can do this: # Person who should get root's mail root: john,[EMAIL PROTECTED],jim,[EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that root will no longer have any email anymore. If you want root to also get email as well as the others just stick root in with the rest of the people who will get roots email: # Person who should get root's mail root: john,[EMAIL PROTECTED],root After changing this file you must type in the command: newaliases You dont have to restart any service etc, changes take effect in real time after you type newalises. Hope that helps. Jim.
