All of those conditions are satisfied on both boxes. root regularly receives crontab mail and various reports (like logwatch, rkhunter, etc). In fact, I swear this _used_ to work on the 9.3 box but I don't specifically know when it stopped working. Could have stopped when I upgraded to 9.2 or even when I upgraded to 9.3, I have no clue when.
What does
grep root /etc/aliases
output?
root: helphand postmaster: root virusalert: root administrator: root daemon: root lp: root news: root uucp: root games: root man: root at: root postgres: root mdom: root amanda: root ftp: root wwwrun: root squid: root msql: root gnats: root nobody: root bin: root hostmaster: root faxadm: root faxmaster: root webmaster: root gnats-admin: root mailman: root
Also, are you sure you have your email client set to monitor the local mail spool? Check /var/spool/mail/root and see if there isn't anything there
helphand:~ # l /var/spool/mail/root /bin/ls: /var/spool/mail/root: No such file or directory Positive that the alias works fine, like I said in the earlier email, mailto root from various cronjobs arrives perfectly fine in my mailbox (I'm the helphand user).
