Edit the /etc/postfix/aliases file and find the line that starts with root:, and alias root to the user you want root's mail sent to: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?
root: obiwan (for example)
after you save the chage, do a 'newaliases' to recreate the database, and 'service postfix restart' .
Don't use mutt, can't help you here.
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.
Sure, procmail can do this.
Better yet, could procmail or some mail filter automatically put mail
in ~/Mail/Inbox on delivery?
fetchmail does not need an MTA to work. It's used to 'fetch' mail from your incoming mail server and put it in your /var/spool/mail/(username) file.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?
