Two important notes about mail: 1. localhost should resolve to your 127.0.0.1 loopback address. If mail to this host isn't received correctly, than you still have mail configuration problem (many other subsystems will try to send mail to this address [e.g: think about cron jobs running for root]). 2. It's very bad idea to read mail as root (just like it's bad to browse the web as root -- security, security). The correct solution for this is to create a global mail alias from the local root to your non-root user. In sendmail, simply update /etc/aliases and reload the service (I suspect that postfix use the same file, but haven't checked). -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron ICQ UIN: 16527398 Microsoft want you to "Get the Facts".
