Just to be clear, this means root will never receive any mail, they will all be redirected to user 'helphand'. If you want root to receive mail you need to make it
root: \root, helphand
Understood, the 'root' user on this box would be me, so it is appropriate that all root mail simply forward to my helphand mailbox.
Positive that the alias works fine, like I said in the earlier email, mailto root from various cronjobs arrives perfectly fine in my mailbox (I'm the helphand user).
OK, so it's just the suseconfig mails then. In which case, what are the settings in /etc/sysconfig/suseconfig, there are several settings in there that controls which mail are sent and to whom
OK, now maybe we're getting somewhere. I'm not at work, so I can't compare the settings right now, but perhaps the warn level is the difference? helphand:/etc/sysconfig # egrep MAIL suseconfig MAIL_REPORTS_TO="root" # There are two levels of mailing. If you set MAIL_LEVEL it to "warn" MAIL_LEVEL="warn" When I go to work monday, I'll check the level on the 9.1 box there that _does_ send the mails, I bet it is set to 'all' not 'warn'. At least I have an idea where to look now, thanks Anders! Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-20a-default x86_64
