System Mail Preferences - stored where?

[webignition]

In WHM > Change System Mail Preferences I recently changed where root's mail goes from rootmail@example.com to root-mail@example.com.

The change doesn't seem to have stuck as root's mail is still being sent to rootmail@example.com instead of root-mail@example.com.

I think I might be better off just finding the file that the system mail preferences are stored in and checking that all is OK.

Does anyone know where the system mail preferences are stored?

It is stored in the .forward file of /root folder.

Thanks for the quick reply bijo.

/root/.forward correctly lists root-mail@example.com so all looks ok there.

I actually noticed that /root/.bash_profile actually had some value set as rootmail@example.com instead of root-mail@example.com due to mistakes on my behalf, and I think that this was causing some mail to go to rootmail@example.com and thus confuse me a bit.
