i would like mail for root to go to me as a normal user so that i can be
notified of anything i should know as and when, rather than have to
remember to log in as root and check my mail, i'm not sure what program
governs mail delivery on my system but there is a symbloic link
/etc/aliases to /etc/postfix/aliases and i added the line
root:bascule
to this file and then ran
postfix reload,
the main reason for this is so that i can get error or other messages
from cron jobs that are run as root, i had tried setting the value:
MAILTO=bascule
and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in /etc/crontab
but neither of these resulted in mail for root going to user bascule.
this must be one of the simpler tasks to configure for system mail i
would be grateful for any advice
bascule
p.s. i have read about running the command 'newaliases' but this didn't
seem to do anything either
