Usually to redirect root's email, you edit /etc/mail/aliases to have an entry that looks like this: root: matt and then run 'newalises' for it to take effect. If you want to redirect root's email to a non-local mailbox, then you have to make an entry in /etc/mail/virtusertable, like this: root [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then 'cd /etc/mail' and 'make' which will do the trick. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
