I think you can also create a file named ".forward" in your root´s home directory, which has the mail address, you want all mails to be forwarded to, as the only line in it. A long time I used this, so I´m not completely sure, if it was on a FreeBSD system. At least it was on a Unix of some flavor, hope it still works :-) Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
