[opensuse] Activating system root messages to /var/mail/'username'
In version 10.1 part on the install had a small box during the stage of defining users "to receive System mail" These messages were sent to /var/mail/'username' and were in mbox format and could be read by your email client under a "local delivery" or "movemail" type server. In 10.2 I did not see the option as part of the install. Does anyone know where in Yast you go to to active these messages. If I have to revert to a command line then that's o.k to. Any clues or answers? Scott

It is there. I installed a new 10.2 system yesterday and saw it, one of the questions, though I can't remember the context. I think it was when it asked who was the first user in the system.

As Patrick said, in the aliases file. And perhaps in yast, mail setup (for the user). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
