Wow – mail for root on OS X goes to /dev/null by default

Color me stymied. What a poor choice.

So, if you’re wondering why root doesn’t get any mail for cron jobs or the like, /var/root/.forward contains /dev/null

If you want root to get mail so you can see it, rm /var/root/.forward (or edit it and put in a real email address)
