hp-ux 11.0 how to change email root ?

[kate32]

Hi

I have mail sending to root@hostname.domain.com
I need to change it as it is blocked and so I was wondering if I create a file .forward => this should work to send the email to a new one ?

Thanks for help

Cheers

If you want to forward root's email just create an alias in /etc/mail/aliases.

After that run: newaliases to build a new copy of aliases db.

Hi Ivan

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.

I will do wht you suggest, as we are already using aliases.

Do I have to restart a deamon or changing the file will be enough ?

Thanks again.

Cheers
