changing the e-mail Bugzilla sends error notifications by default

Hi,

I'm totally new to Bugzilla and Linux - however I managed to correctly
install Bugzilla 3.2.5 on a Centos 5 machine, it works just fine but I still
need to tweak something.

The issues is with the e-mail address bugzilla sends the error comments such
as 'invalid e-mail address' to: currently it's set to root@<bugzilla
instalation> which means that all mail goes to my var/spool/mail/root
directory in the linux installation - it'd be great if it could just come to
my mailbox.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Vlad

You should be able to forward all of root's mail to your mailbox by
making a .forward file in root's home directory (usually /root, not
/home/root) with your email address as it's one and only line.

Ideally, you shouldn't be running bugzilla as "root" but as a user like:
bugzilla or bugs or something else. There are detailed instructions in the
documentation to setup Bugzilla to this effect. If you do that way, you can
have the emails sent/received as bugzilla@<...> rather than "root".

Many thanks, Dan!

Your solutions seems to be by far the simplest to use. There's also an
alternative:

Adding a "root: username_to_forward_to" line to your /etc/aliases' file also
works just fine.

Thx for all your help, this topic can now be considered to be closed.
