In previous openSUSE installations I have checked the box for the first user to get system mail, and it works.
On this new 12.1 installation with KDE 4.7.2, with a pre-existing /home, I did the same, but no system mail comes to the user.
Even after doing
:~ # service postfix start :~ # chkconfig postfix on
an incantation that I found on a forum, root now gets mail, but it is not redirected to me.
Any suggestions
I'm not sure this happens by intention (or just for those users who have selected sysvinit over systemd, like I did), but I found out, that one has to run the following command to make postfix honour the settings from /etc/sysconfig/postfix : env MD5DIR=/var/adm/SuSEconfig/md5 /usr/sbin/SuSEconfig.postfix Then restart the postfix service and it should just work.
