Hi All,

I installed a new CentOS 5.5 box and I am getting a daily e-mail (I am not sure how this was triggered) with XNTPD logs, HTTP Error and Disk Space).

It is being sent to root@www.6colors.co which bounces, but I have a catch all so it does get to me.

How do I change where this e-mail is sent? I have tried in /etc/postfix/main.cd, master.cf, bounce.cf.default, etc and I don't see where this is set.

Can anyone help out?

Best,
-Jason

Its LOGWATCH what is doing it. It will be scheduled in / ETC / CRONTAB

If you are running the default sendmail, put an alias for root in
/etc/aliases and restart sendmail or run 'newaliases'.

Hi

you have to add the record to /etc/aliases:

root: you@adress.tld

and then run: newaliases

Or you can edit

/etc/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl

and change line 64

$Config{'mailto'} = "root";


Happy Christmas everyone,

Paul.

I would strongly recommend using /etc/aliases and NOT editing
logwatch.pl as any updates to logwatch will collide with your edit,
leaving you with .rpmnew files to merge.

And, there may be other interesting/critical mail coming to root.

Good point.

I always have root's email sent to my own user account.

That's one of the things my ALI scripts sets up for me.

echo
echo "Processing /etc/aliases config file"
echo

# Backup the newly installed aliases configuration file.
cp -vpR $ETC_DIR/aliases $ETC_DIR/aliases$ORG_SUFX
echo

# Use sed to edit the new aliases file and change
# who should get root's email.

echo "Setting up who gets root's email"

sed -i s/#root:.*marc/'root: keith'/ $2/aliases

echo
cat $ETC_DIR/aliases
echo

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
