Root Account mail alias question

[LinuxRocks]

I have used the /etc/aliases file often, but didn't know if there was another way to alias the root account to a user with Zentyal.

Anyone have any tips for this?

Thanks!

Ok, after some playing around, I thought I would share the answer for others that may need it.

You can still modify the /etc/aliases file with all the aliases you need. As a note, you will need to specify the domain/virtual domain or it will go to the local mail spool in /var/spool/mail for the user.

It would be nice to have this option in the Zentyal interface, but I could not find it.

Also, after you make the change, you must run the newaliases command to record the information.

Here is an example of the file for reference:

Code: [Select]

cat aliases
# See man 5 aliases for format
clamav: root
root: useraccount@domain.com <--- this is what I added

#Added by eBox. Postmaster alias will be rewritten in each Zentyal mail system restart but other aliases will be kept
postmaster: root

Hope this helps!
