Hello,
I'm interested to hear how system administrators handle the plethora
of E-Mails servers tend to generate. Especially ones with various cron
jobs.
Is the typically practice to add .forwards and consume the reports
with the rest of your E-Mail? How about an pushing them to a RSS feed
which isn't as intrusive ?
I'll occasionally jump onto the system and run mail/mutt and wish I never did.
your best bet is to suppress any email that isn't an error.
if you get buttloads of emails from the system your not going to pay
them any attention.
If it only sends you an email when something's wrong, then you can look
at it and fix the problem.
