I have tested with Hoary Array 7 and there is now a /etc/aliases.db and the

<email address hidden> not to my installation account (stb).

No mail for stb

Now i sudo and:

The alias file containing:
sudo cat /etc/aliases
# See man 5 aliases for format
postmaster: root
# Added by installer for initial user
root: stb

Should this mails delivered to stb?

Thanks and best regards
