1. TELNET/SSH in and su to root

2. On a RaQ3:
cd /etc/

3. On a RaQ4:
cd /etc/mail/

4. pico -w aliases

5. Scroll down to the line:
root:    admin

6. Insert the following line below it (note the gap is a <tab>):
admin:    you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

7. Exit & Save from pico

8. At the shell prompt:
newaliases

That's it.
