Certain accounts should ALWAYS be present. Root is one of these. Mostly a holdover from the old days, root was an important place to send mail to a system administrator. Postmaster is another account that should exist. This is used to inform the system operators of problems. Abuse is always nice to have set up, just in case you've been hijacked by a spammer. You can make these aliases and point them to whoever you want, but these 3 accounts should at least be available. -----Original Message----- From: Rocky Rapson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Root/System Administrator account Account access is disabled on that account by default, so you should reset the password before enabling it. That account also has a "postmaster" alias pointing to it, so you probably don't want to delete it.

There is always an account called Root that has a user name of System Administrator. I've tried logging into the account with out changing the password (so the default pass would be : "password") and I don't seem to be able to gain entry. This is good but should I always delete these default accounts each time I add a domain?
