# It is probably best to not work as user root and redirect all

# email to "root" to the address of a HUMAN who deals with this

# system's problems. Then you don't have to check for important

# email too often on the root account.

# The "\root" will make sure that email is also delivered to the

# root-account, but also forwared to the user "joe".

#root:      joe, \root
