Thanks

- Login to iRedAdmin as existing global admin: https://<server>/iredadmin/
- Create new global admin, or promote existing mail user to be a global admin

Thanks for this.  I was not completely clear when I asked my question.  I would like to find out how to create an admin who receives the daily messages about the cron jobs, emails statistics and backups.

Right now it is the first postmaster account that was created during installation, however I now even want to drop the whole mail domain but someone needs to receive those messages to know what is happening.

This was sent to system user "root". You need to update file /etc/postfix/aliases, set the forward address of "root" user to the email address you want to receive the daily messages. For example:

root: someone@some-domain.com

After you updated this file, please run "postalias /etc/postfix/aliases".
