Any mail for postmaster will go to root. This is a fairly standard alias file. You can setup a user called xxyyzz and have an email alias for him such as GeorgeCluney. So that anyone who emails GeorgeCluney@.... will actaully go to xxyyzz@.... Lookup the use of addalias for more details. James Kosin
