Re: System users that receive mail in /var/mail/systemuser?

Hello,
system users like proxy, sshd or identd usually do not receive any
mail at all. And system-users that _do_ receive mail are usually
redirected to a real user by /etc/aliases.

I do wonder whether it would be safe to reject any mail for
system-accounts (uid <1000 || uid >63434) unless it is redirected with
/etc/aliases?

Or just redirect all such mail to root, that way you don't have to keep /etc/aliases up to date for every package installed that creates a user.
