Hi, on my raq4i, the admin account is using the ns.domain.com domain, or put
another way, it is under the main domain for the box.

I could set up my email client to pop the admins mail directly but as that
would entail sending the main box's user and pass out every time, it doesn't
bear thinking about.
Instead, I made a .forward file and dumped it in /home/sites/home/admin/
So now all the server admin mails go to another account on the same box
which I can pop using a 'normal' user and pass.

I had to do this initially, because the server admin doesn't show up in the
gui as a user, even under the domain he/she's a part of, so aliases using
the gui are out.
