Once upon a time, in the days of oS 12.1 and earlier, I used to get system mail delivered to me. This seems to have stopped since moving to 12.2, in spite of the fact that my user has the 'Receive System Mail' option checked in YaST > Security and Users > User and Group Management.
:~> mail No mail for bob :~> su - Password: :~# mail Heirloom mailx version 12.5 7/5/10. Type ? for help. "/var/spool/mail/root": 17 messages 17 new
Is there anything else I need to do? Add myself to :wheel?
Bob Hi Edit the file /etc/postfix/aliases there is a section called 'root' add your user name, probably needs un-rem as well ;) save/quit then run newaliases command.
