Hi Rick,
Do you mean the adress that you can enter under admin settings in the GUI
??? I have entered the adress there user@xxxxxxxxxxxx and this is now in my
/etc/mail/aliases file
#
# /etc/mail/aliases
#
<I have removed the non-essential parts here to make my emailshorter>
nobody: /dev/null
root: admin
sys: admin, user@xxxxxxxxxxxx
however when a message is send to root is it still sended to admin see
above. Is it possible to edit this file by hand ??? So that the
root will look like this :
root: admin, user@xxxxxxxxxxxx
If that is the case please let me know ! Or do I need to use an other
command to edit this file and add the extra emailaccount to the root??
Do I have to enter an action to make user the aliases table is reread by the
server ??
Thanks in advance !
