Hi, This would do most of the job, indeed, but not all: you still have to run a mailreader, which webmail-only users don't. A dedicated, simple, read-only, local-only mail reader could tell the user that this mailbox usually contains system warnings and point them to where to look for help if they don't understand them. With a dedicated package, we can also try to configure (automatically of via debconf) local mail forwarding in case of a server installation. But your proposal looks so much simpler that it's probably the way to go. Kind regards, Thibaut. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
