root's email address - how to change?

[tonydm]

Hi all,

I need to change the email address for the root user.  The email address 
configured for the root user is pointing to a subdomain of the website 
on the server.  Don't know why I did it that way when I installed FC3, 
but I need to change it so that my log monitor is emailing the reports 
to the correct address.  Did a search on Google, but either overlooked 
the solution, or didn't find one.  Thanks

Tony,

It depends on your mta, but try looking at /etc/aliases. Don't forget to
run newaliases it you edit it.

Meanwhile, a quick-and-dirty solution might be to add a .forward file
wherever the e-mails are getting (I think).
