Hi JR
>> It's not in /etc/aliases or any /etc/postfix/* files
proxmox-mail-forward uses the .forward mechanism to “catch” emails sent to root (or any other user) - see aliases(5).
root@pve:~# cat ~/.forward
|/usr/bin/proxmox-mail-forward
root@pve:~# grep ^user:root /etc/pve/user.cfg
user:root@pam:1:0:::admin@example.com:::
The user:root@pam entry in user.cfg is where the email address went that you entered during installation.
Lukas Wagner briefly described the mechanism in this <https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/is-the-use-of-proxmox-mail-forward-to-handle-mail-on-pve.133850/post-590618> forum post.
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/is-the-use-of-proxmox-mail-forward-to-handle-mail-on-pve.133850/post-590618
What he described is the legacy mode <https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-notifications.html#:~:text=legacy%20mode> for sending notification emails.
