Many people therefore edit /etc/mail/aliases or /etc/aliases (RaQ2, RaQ3) and change the following line ... postmaster: root .. to ... postmaster: /dev/null That will then forward all emails for postmaster to /dev/null, which is the Linux trashbin. In order for these changes to take effect you need to run this two commands after your edit of the file: RaQ4, RaQ550, XTR, Qube3: makemap hash /etc/mail/aliases.db </etc/mail/aliases /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart RaQ2, RaQ3: makemap hash /etc/aliases.db </etc/aliases /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart But as said: For troubleshooting purpose it is wise to not do this, because otherwise you risk that you learn too late when someone is abusing that formail.pl script which one of your customers uploaded to his website. |
