If I'm reading my old patch correctly and your bz, they actually cover pretty much the same things, the only difference really was your suggestion that it be mandatory or at least strongly suggested to set up forwarding of some sort. I left it optional, but did provide means to 1) forward root mail to a user on the system and 2) forward mail along to an email account external to the system (via a .forward file in the user's home directory). So yeah, I'd say dupe it. -- Jarod Wilson jarod@xxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
