A combination of cat /var/mail/root | formail -s and something. cat /var/mail/root | formail -s will read /var/mail/root, separate each message and pipe it to the command that follow the -s. The command could be a sendmail new@email.address.com or something, you may have to investigate. cat /var/mail/root | formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail new@email.address.com Olivier
