Dear FreeBSD,
I have two cases on different domains with this problem.
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.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.
