Subject: [exim] naive user question about root mail
How do I arrange for root's messages to be delivered to my
account? I have an entry in /etc/aliases:
root: richard
and I've run newaliases but nothing shows up. I'm sure I'm doing
something very stupid, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what it
is:)

root can send stuff to me, and I would expect to receive messages that I
send to root, but they just sit in the queue, I assume because root is a
never_user.

SuSe 9.1 on amd64, 2.6.5-7.108-smp, exim-4.30-25.2

- Richard.
