u mean, dpnotification will be the alias of root?

then check /etc/mail/aliases file.

or there is an user named dpnotification which will monitor the DP logs, activities and alert user?

Ahsan...........Thanks for the reply.

I want that all DP related mails such such backup alerts, DP alerts, DP error and mount request should come as the name from dpnotification in place of root. Right now i am getting all DP related mails as the name of root, i want to change it to dpnotification name. There is no user as dpnotification in the system.

And all other mails of the system should come with the name of root only.

Thanks

actually all system notification, hardware error will come when the user itself install those.

But, you can filter this from STM.
