Suppose my FreeBSD box is mymachine.campus.edu Lately, the machine that outranks me at my domain has been getting mail addressed to root@campus.edu instead of the correct root@mymachine.campus.edu. I believe cron is sending the mail, since at one network (at home) my "upper" machine root@myhouse.com is getting security check outputs and daily run outputs from the "lower" machine, root@newbox.myhouse.com. wayne@barnes1:/home/wayne>uname -a FreeBSD barnes1.wustl.edu 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #1: Sun Jul 21 13:45:09 CDT 2002 wayne@barnes1.wustl.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENFOTWO i386 The only non-standard thing I am doing is running postfix instead of sendmail. How could that be the problem? And if so, what would be a fix? While waiting for a helpful answer, I think I'll set /etc/aliases to have root: root@newbox.myhouse.com which should hardly be necessary, but I want to stop annoying my major domain holder. -- Wayne M Barnes stabilizer@klentaq.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
