Yes. That's the directory for local delivery. In many cases the mail to root will end up there. Please look in /etc/aliases to see which user is getting the root mail (root is not expected to read his mail himself - because of security considerations) Next you should have look in directory /home/target-user-for-the-root-mail. Is there a file named ".forward"? Look for the destination adress in .forward. If there is nothing to find, you need to post with MTA (Sendmail,...) and with local-delivery-agent (procmail, ...) you are using. Do you use cyrus imapd? -- Wilfried Essig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
