Does anyone know of all the places where 'mailto:root@domain' is specified in SuSE. I don't know. I thought I caught them all and changed them to ben@whack.org and changed all of /etc/aliases to point to ben and not root..but I have one I can't find that's sending cron info to root@myisp...oops. Can I get a little help here :) -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Well I had the problem and ended plaing a .forward file in roots directory which so far looks like solved the problem -- Togan Muftuoglu

also in rc.config # # SuSEconfig can mail reports (created by YaST or included in packages) # to you. Here you can set the address. If you don't want reports to # be send, then simply set it to "". # MAIL_REPORTS_TO="root" -- Togan Muftuoglu

Hi Ben, How about the MAILTO= settings in your crontabs? You probably already changed them, but just in case...

Now that 1 mailing that was getting sent to root@concentric.net is now getting sent to root@zeus.zeus which means it's going into Never-Neverland. I have changed EVERYTHING I can think of or that anyone else can. *sigh* Sendmail never did this to me. It always sent mail to root@localhost. I may switch back..but having that one piece of root mail go off to where bad little emails go..isn't so bad. Everything else seems to go to my user mail address just fine. *shrug* Thanks for the help. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Sounds like a bug to me, a simple alias to ben should take care of all of those mails, without needing rc.config etc. etc.
Thanks for the help.

Hi, we have SuSE 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2, and we need to know if they are any incompatibility issues with the Intel RAID Controller U2-1 (SRCU21) or with any other Intel Raid controller, I2O. Please we have trying with 7.1 it cannot create the swap partitions, even if they are only 128 MB, also with Suse 7.2 I dont have this problem, but I have so many problems with the installation, it cannot setup the ROOT password or create an user. Also problems installing packages. This is an problem with the raid card? or is a problem of Suse 7.2? It could recognize the I2O installing the graphical mode, but in the text mode it tell me that they are not any hard drive. So any sugestion? Thanks

It must have been a bug in Postfix..because I switched to Sendmail and now it sends root mail to the right place and reads /etc/aliases correctly. *shrug* Thanks anyways. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
