Greetings;

What is the usual method of sending roots local mail to a user so that kmail
can be run as a user, and still get roots mail?

I can't think about that. It doesn't go with HEDGES in the shape of

edit the file /etc/aliases and at the bottom it has a section about root's mail put you username in there save the file and then run newaliases.
then add you local account to kmail and it will receive roots mail.

Edit /etc/aliases, scroll to the bottom, uncomment the #root line, and
change the "marc" user to the one you want.

If it is a user on another machine or email addy, just put it in the
same way..

root: user

or

root: user@machine-name

or

root: user@domain.com


Then run the command "newaliases" after that and should be it. Hope
that helps.
