Hi Matt,

I have done this and it works for new mail arriving but I need to
onsend
the existing mail.

Ah, I misread what you were looking to do. You should be able to do the following then.

cat /var/spool/mail/root | mail -s "Old Root Emails" user@gmail.com mailto:user@gmail.com

Hope that helps. Matt

You are a legend!!!! Thanks so much. Kate
