I am kind of wondering what you consider to be the standard sort of entries?

The default /etc/mail/aliases file that OI installed in the Global zone has about twelve or so entries.  I went ahead and added one for "root: myadmin" and ran "newaliases".  But looking at the /etc/aliases file in Scientific Linux 6.4 shows almost a hundred entries - a lot of which I know are not necessary.

And I noticed my zones don't have /etc/alias files -- except the zone I have Postfix in.

So, are the OI default (plus my root redirection) sufficient?  

And should I put them in my zones, too?
