Topic: Changing root aliases: newaliases required?

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.7.3
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 5.6
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:

I'm trying to change the root alias so that logwatch reports, etc. get sent to an email address I actually check.  I changed the entry in /etc/postfix/aliases but when I tried running newaliases as indicated, I get this:

> newaliases /etc/postfix/aliases
newaliases: fatal: alias initialization mode requires no recipient

My question: am I even going about this the right way?  Or would I be just as far ahead to set up forwarding in iRedAdminPRO?

Re: Changing root aliases: newaliases required?

Never mind, figured it out.  You just need to run "newaliases" with no argument.  Did that, restarted Postfix, and the messages are going where I want them to now.
