Just so other users might find not only my answer but also the solution when they search in Google or something: I chose to install postfix, since none of the simple MTA's support aliases. (I also tried exim, but I didn't like the configuration.) In /etc/aliases, I have the line 'root: koen', so all local mail for root is forwarded to user koen (that's me). In my home directory, I have .forward, which contains my normal email address. Furthermore, postfix allows me to specify multiple smtp servers to deliver the mail to, which is quite useful on a laptop since you often need to use different smtp servers on different networks. And, ofcourse, thanks to the list for the help! Koen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
