However, this last bit - re the e-mail - is really a non-event.
What about the other 2 matters I mentioned which I consider to be much more important? That's for others to answer if they wish. I know the facts about why the redirection of root's mail, that it is intentional, and that it is for security, you believe it or not, you agree or not. :-)
We are talking about defaults,
We are talking default setting here, as I mentioned. But let's stop here for a moment. I think I let the hare loose when I mentioned that this default setting is about E-MAIL to the ROOT. I don't think that it is e-mail at all but simple mail - ie error messages etc - which the system may send to the root/administrator and has nothing to do with E-MAIL. Because I have never ever used this default settings I don't have a clue what form this mail to the root/administrator takes. Perhaps someone who is now using this default setting could educate me (us) how this mail is seen by the User - and where (ie, Thunderbird, Kmail, whatever).
not how experienced people configure their own systems, after all. BC
