Mail for root can be delivered to any account you choose. It doesn't have to be delivered to the root account. J65nko BSD suggested that you create an alias; this would allow root's email to be delivered to your account. It doesn't get much easier than that. I can't answer the rest of your questions. -- Sensory yours, Eugene Minkovskii I'm not sure about this, but I suspect you probably mean to say Sincerely yours rather than Sensory yours.

sendmail and mbox permissions
Hi. I use FreeBSD 5.3 and sendmail. When root rechieve the mail, mailbox's (/var/mail/root) permission bits has been setted to 600. Who and how it does? Can I change this behavior? -- Sensory yours, Eugene Minkovskii , ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
