Administrators Account

Initial administrative tasks when you log on for the first time may include setting up the admin mailbox to include features, aliases, and forwarding addresses needed for the administrator’s working environment.

Two aliases for the admin account are created during install:

Postmaster. The postmaster address is displayed in emails that are automatically generated from Postfix when messages cannot be sent. If users reply to this address, the message is forwarded to the admin mailbox.

Root. This address is where notification messages from the operating system are sent.

If you entered a notification address for AV alerts when you configured the MTA, that is different from the default, you need to create that account in the administration console. If you didn’t change the default during installation, the anti-virus notification is sent directly to the admin account.
