Hi,

Unless you created the account "root" in surgemail
that it is not a 
valid email account.  SurgeMail takes no notice of users on
the *nix system.

You can either create the root account in the account
section of 
surgemail or use a redirection rule and forward emails to
root to 
whatever account you want to view them on.

Stuart

Hello.

I am having this problem also. I need system generated
emails  
addressed to <root> to go to memydomain.com. I can't
create an  
account or alias without including a domain name. I'm sure
this used  
to work as root would go to rootdefault.domain which I
could then  
alias.

Thanks,
John
