Receiving Mail to ROOT User

[dballester at kernpharma.com]

Hello:

      You can easyly redirect any mail from one user to another using the
.forward file in the original receiver.

      Supouse that i wanna redirect all root mail to my normal user
account. My normal user login is david.

      As root ( the original recipe )

      >cd $HOME
      >echo "david at localhost" > .forward

      From now all mail received to root will be automatically saved in
david at localhost mailbox


      You can use evolution or another mail client able to read local
mailbox

Personalmente, mis problemas de suministro de software legal se limitan a
averiguar qué debo poner detrás de "apt-get install ..." omni en barrapunto

Que parte de /sbin/ifconfig eth0|grep 'inet'|awk -F' ' '{print $2}'|sed -e
s/addr:// no entiendes?

    With earlier (i.e. Redhat 9 and prior) releases I was able to
process root's mail in the Netscape/Mozilla client, setting the server
address to localhost.  Since upgrading to Fedora Core 1 and now 2, that
doesn't seem to be working any more.  The client is continuously
"Connecting to localhost".  I don't recall having to start any kind of
mail server before, but it has been a while and my memory is
increasingly dusty.  Can anyone tell me how to get root's mail without
actually logging in to the root ID and using "mail"?
    Thanks,
Gordon Keehn
