Hi,
I'm not sure, that its easily possible, but running few comps in a network, I would like them to pass my root e-mails to my own machine. I setup already the alias, so my "normal" user can read everything already, but only locally. This I would like to change by the following scheme: - if my computer is available, then the messages should be transfered, - if my computer is not online, messages should wait in a queue, until it appears again. This should happen with no error-messages, no expiring, etc.
In postfix on your PC, add an entry to main.cf mydestination = Something like: mydestination = mylocalmachines.local Then, in the other machines, specify: relayhost = your_machine_IP Then, in all those machines, in /etc/aliases, do: root: pelibali@mylocalmachines.local And then do: newaliases rcpostfix restart That will cause root's mail not to be delivered locally on each box, but instead be forwarded to yours, and if yours is down, postfix will keep it in the queue and keep trying.
