Read Cron output in Mail.app

[Gheto Fabulous]

Hi all,
I have been following This Hint (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050911184730802&query=sendmail) on how to set up postfix to listen on port 25.

It's all working and I can telnet into localhost on port 25 and send mail.

I'd just like to know how I can set up Mail.app to read the various email items that my cron tasks spit out. (the one's you see in the terminal "you have new mail")

I'd also like to know if it's possible to send mail to user@localhost ?

I've read somewhere else that all that is necessary is to edit the aliases file - but have no idea how to edit it.

Regards

I'd just like to know how I can set up Mail.app to read the various email items...PostFix will accept the incoming connections and send emails out. To retrieve e-mail you'll need to run an imap or pop server. I'd sugest you read this link (http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.index.html) to set up imap... then the rest is just telling Mail.app that you have a new account as always. It is possible to send an email to user@localhost as long as you set up postfix correctly.
