<para>The <filename>/etc/aliases</filename> file that was just created,
|
|
the <filename>main.cf</filename> and the <filename>master.cf</filename>
|
|
must be personalized for your system. The <filename>aliases</filename> file
|
|
needs your non-root login identity so mail addressed to root can be forwarded
|
|
to you at the user level. The <filename>main.cf</filename> file needs your
|
|
fully qualified hostname. All of these edits can be done with sed commands
|
|
entered into the console with appropriate substitutions of your non-root
|
|
login name for <replaceable>[user]</replaceable> and your fully qualified
|
|
hostname for <replaceable>[localhost.localdomain]</replaceable>. You will
|
|
find the <filename>main.cf</filename> file
|
|
is self documenting, so load it into your editor to make the changes you need
|
|
for your situation.</para>
