Dear All On my server , the /var/spool/mail/root is getting very big in size . To free up more space, can you please let me know how can I solve my problem ? Thank you

these are system-mails (cronjobs, logwatch, smartd, mdadm.....) you should read them from the very beginning of the setup!

/etc/aliases: root: your-mail-address@yourdomain.tld

call the command "newaliases"

call "postqueue -f" if postfix is used to deliver existing mails for sendmail -> no idea, i am postfix-user since many years ______________________

you can also delete the mails before change the config to relay them in future and restart the MTA

Thank you very much for your help.
