        Hi, this is probably an incrediably obvious thing, but I can't figure out
where to look. Some of the computers here send a message to one of the
former systems admins accounts when a major event has occurred (ie, reboot
or similiar). Some of the other systems, just send this to root, but then
that gets sent on to a second account and other still just send it to the
local root.

        What I would liek to do is standardise where everything is sent. I have
looked for a .forward file and for a local alias file, but no luck. Where
should I be looking?

        Cheers,
                Ryan.
