My main question > is: Not sure this helps you but you can tell debconf to send mail to a different address. export DEBCONF_ADMIN_EMAIL=addr@example.com I actually use it to turn off those messages entirely. export DEBCONF_ADMIN_EMAIL="" When you install a security upgrade for ssh to a few hundred machines and each and every one wants to say the same thing to you it gets a little tedious. :-) > How do I setup my mailsystem such that all mail to local users > (including root) is sent to my emailaddress? That is one of the common configurations of most MTAs. Of course I have never wanted to do that myself so I can't suggest anything concrete. In Postfix I would probably use the canonical address map to rewrite all addresses to the single address you want. But really the only two users that you care about are yourself and root so the simplest thing (what I would do) is to create aliases for those two users and forward that mail to the address you want.
