In Linux, mail from the root account is forwarded to other users.

For Linux (such as RHAS4), emails from the root account are generally stored on the local machine (/var/mail/root), and can be forwarded through the Sendmail alias list, add a line to the alias file/etc/aliases:

Root: root, user, xxx@xxx.com

Emails other than root can be forwarded by creating a. forward file under the user/hoem:

\ Somebody

Other1

Other2

The File Permission is set to 600, and the function is the same, but. forward can be maintained by the user, while aliases can only be modified by the Administrator.
