You should be able to edit the email forward for the "admin" account from the Users area of the server manager.

Go to the wiki (see button in menu on top of this page) and read: SME Server manuals > Administration.
Best to read it all, but Chapter 9 will probably be of most interest for your situation.

No need to edit files manually, just open a browser, navigate to the server-manager and select Users from the left menu, modify the admin user, you should be able to define the address there or consider delivering it locally.

Hi eddiechen,

Can you show what is the 'alarm email' content? Some contribs like sme7admin send alarm mail to defined user when something goes wrong like disk space warning, high cpu usage, etc. From the content of the alarm mail we can determine 'who' send it .

Are you sure the alarm is from the SME server and not from other devices like router or firewall?

I wonder, can you not simply reset the admin password?

That way all access to the former employee is shut off.
