Hi,

Is it possible to configure an openSUSE 11.1 system to deliver system
mail to an arbitrary address instead of a local user's mailbox (file)?

Yes, of course. In /etc/aliases

root: foo@xxxxxxx,\root

You probably want to keep \root in there. In case the emails are lost they
will still be available locally.

Afterwards run "postalias" as root, and you're done

Well, it helps if you've configured your postfix so that it knows how to send
email externally first :)
