The setup usually copies the mails to a user account, but will also deliver them to root.
It is simply not this simple.
If you ack to send system mail to the first user you added while the installtion an alias is created in /etc/aliases
root: sascha
Ah, sorry, I thought it was the default to only send a copy to the user and still deliver the mail to root. I guess that's how I always set it up then.
Mail delivery to root does not work in postfix, I don't remember the exact reason, but I think it is because it uses procmail for local delivery. The postfix devs do not trust any external (to them) tool, so they refuse to run procmail as root to send email to root... therefore, mail to root has to be sent instead to a user. It was comented on the list at the time SuSE changed from sendmail to postfix as default tool. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
