 our server redirects any email sent to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to my boss, but
 he wants it to come to me from now on, because the only thing that would
 ever come from root are basically any errors returned by cron etc. and I am
 the one that needs to know of those :)  hehehe

One more suggestion is to check for a .forward file in the /root
directory (assuming the home directory of root is /root not / or
/home/root)

 I'm sure this is easy, but I can't find a thing on it anywhere...
 
 any ideas?

It depends a little bit on which MTA you're running (Mail Transfer Agent,
the bit of a mail server that sends and receives mail, but doesn't serve
them via client protocols - it might be sendmail, postfix, qmail, exim or
one of a few others)...

It is fairly likely that if you modify /etc/aliases (verifying that it has a
root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] line in it, which you want to change), and run
'newaliases' then it should work. If you're running something that is oddly
different to MTA norms (such as qmail), this won't work. :-)

Worth figuring out which MTA you're running anyway, so you know what to read
up on when you encounter problems in the future. :-)

 Hi All,
 
 I read an email recently from someone who has port 25 blocked by their
 ISP and they pasted a URL of a company that will host your domain and
 redirect mail to a port other than 25. I have searched through the
 archives and cannot find the mail.
 
 Does anyone know a site that offers this service, or if the original
 poster can pass me on the details I would appreciate it.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Adam.
