depends... by default debian uses exim for MTA, and on install I believe it prompts you which account mail for 'root' should go. so check the /etc/aliases and your MTA config. you could also check the mail log. e.g. echo "test" | mail root ; tail -f /var/log/mail.log to see if it is forwarded to another account or not nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
