I am not using SSH. is there no other way to check mails for root. for example forwarding these mails to another mail ID which can be accessed via webmail.
Hi, You can edit /etc/aliases and add the alias: Code: root: [email protected] and run the command Code: newaliases Cheers
Yes. If you are sitting in front of the computer, go to the command line, log in as root and type: Code: mail I wouldn't want anyone being able to log into my server via a webmail application as root.
Thanks Pititis & Hairy for your support. Honestly I found the Pitis solution simpler. I tried mail in the terminal, but I am getting the message that mail is not installed, do you want to install it. Pititis The alias to existing mail id is working fine, but how can I pull the existing mails in root to the aliased ID.
Just install it. It's a good program to have installed because you can check root's mail simply by typing Code: mail That seems simpler than editing config files to me. That way, it also keeps root's email separate from your other email accounts. To install it type: Code: yum install mail or maybe you use apt-get install on your system. I don't know what your setup is.
