Re: messages to root



Quoting Eddie Torres (veloct@veloct.net):

You ought to have entries like

postmaster: root
root: your-username-here

in /etc/aliases.

Later you wrote:

> How can I disable system checks from emailing my account every hour?

If "root" == "my account", then I strongly advise you not to use
root as your account.

If you've already fixed that, then the other person's advice (i.e. to
do with the system checks themselves) might be appropriate.

Cheers,
