    When I setup my server I created a 2nd account besides root. I kept typing mail in the root account expecting to see mail. Well I never did. So today I went into the 2nd account and typed mail and about freaked. I have a tun of emails in there. I do not know how to use that kind of mail. Can someone please point me to some ware I can read on how to move around and work with these mail messages please. I guess this is were I get all the mail for the sites and program errors I have on my server hu? I was thinking it would be thought the root account. thank you

    root's mail is probably being redirected to another account through an entry in /etc/aliases. You can modify /etc/aliases. Run
    Code:
    newaliases
    afterwards and restart Postfix.
