[-- Attachment #1 --] hi all i have a general question, probably no big deal. a while ago, i edited /etc/aliases and did 'new aliases', so that root's email account now points to one of my email accounts - i have logcheck set up as a cron job every fifteen minutes to notify me of unusual system events. ever since this happened, the great majority of emails to root have looked like -- Subject: my.hostname.com 08/19/03:14.00 system check X-UIDL: 4%\!![P/"!lU=!!4=N!!
