The user can choose. The user can either set up the /etc/aliases file themselves - or use procmail or whatever to do the forwarding. Setting it up as a local user in firstboot is much more likely to work without problems. What happens when a user enters their e-mail address, and their e-mail server rejects it because it is coming from what looks like a compromised broadband host? (a lot of mail servers flat out reject anything that looks like it is coming from a dsl/cable modem). Now you have postfix sending a mail to root stating the message can't be delivered, which gets forwarded to the same e-mail address - meanwhile, unless the user reads the log, they may never know there is a problem. Let those who have a reason to forward root's mail to an e-mail address do so, they probably already know how - seeing as that's how they would have to do it currently. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
