Hi all,

I'm running Centos 5.4
I have a pile of emails in my root users /var/spool/mail/root file
I need to send this all to another address (preferrably external but
local would possibly do)

I have searched a lot but can't find any way to do this. I have set it
so future emails get forwarded to my external address but I also need to
shift the existing emails.

Kate,

You need to modify /etc/aliases to have something like:

root:          user@xxxxxxxxx


You should then run /usr/bin/newaliases to make these changes active.
