Re: System Mail question

I'm a bit curious as to what "system mail" is in this context.
Specifically, I think of "system mail" as messages sent to postmaster,
root, webmaster, etc.

That stuff is all managed through the aliases file (most likely either
/etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases).

(On the other hand, that might not be the question at all)

During installation, when I got to the point of adding regular users (not root) there is a check box in the add user window to allow receiving system mail. I did not check the box and continued the installation along with adding all the packages and then updating everything.
