I'm testing a particular issue pertaining to SMTP for a client (the issue is irrelevant) and I have been sending huge amounts of mail between two SMTP hosts. The irritating thing that I am running into is that every time the servers receive a message to root I get a new mail notification on every root shell I have open to the system: New mail for root at slackware102 has arrived: ---- This gets irritating in a big hurry when I fire off a script that generates 40000 messages and I'm trying to look at other things as root. I know there are ways to work around this (sending mail to another user, sudo, etc.), but I would prefer to just suppress the messages if possible. I tried googling this and didn't find anything useful, I'm not even sure what service is responsible for printing the messages. Cheers,
