Exim4 and root aliases? Send a copy to root?












0















When setting up my raspberry pi to use local email (using exim4 as the default MTA on Raspbian/Debian), and while doing the debconf initial configuration, I was asked whether to forward root's email to my user account, and I did. In retrospect I wish I had also included root, as well as my user account (let's call it user1). In other words, any mail sent to root should in fact go to both root and user1.



Changing the alias in /etc/aliases to



root: user1, root


makes no difference. How do I now "CC" root's email to the root mail inbox, in addition to receiving it as user1, after the fact?

          It is not enough to edit /etc/aliases, you need to run:



          sudo newaliases


          and then



          sudo service exim4 restart


          From man newaliases




          Newaliases rebuilds the random access data base for the mail
          aliases file
          /etc/aliases. It must be run each time this file is changed in order for
          the change to take effect.
