I use postfix, but system alerts are not sent to me but to the postfix user... [obiwan@darkstar mail]$ ls -la total 1560 drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 4096 Nov 24 21:15 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Aug 29 11:43 .. -rw------- 1 apache mail 19032 Aug 19 08:24 apache -rw-rw---- 1 obiwan mail 105295 Nov 24 21:15 obiwan -rw------- 1 postfix mail 1451892 Nov 11 04:02 postfix How do I get postfix or root's messages sent to normal user? Also, I would like mutt to inc the mail to my ~/Mail/Inbox and have mutt open to ~/Mail/Inbox to view mail. Apparently mutt is reading mail from the mail spool file and when I exit it places non-deleted messages in the Inbox. Better yet, could procmail or some mail filter automatically put mail in ~/Mail/Inbox on delivery? I only use mutt, no webmail etc. IF I could get Evolution to view the same directories as mutt, I may use evolution in the future, but I don't know how to make them work together! Anybody using Mutt and Evolution together? Can Evolution read mail directly from the user's ~/Mail directory without using pop3 or imap??? The ideal setup would be to have Mutt as my Console mail app. Evolution as my X mail interface, and make both use sendmail -e or whatever to send mail and read mail directly from the user's mailbox. No sendmail or postfix daemon waiting on port 25, no imap or pop3, NO OPEN PORTS! Does this make sense? I know it's possible to use the sendmail binary directly to send mail, but would fetchmail work without sendmail or postfix running on port 25? What is the best way to do my mail using these methods, if it's possible? jay -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
