Not e-mail, just system warnings and messages etc.

I thought of that after I wrote the list, so I did the following after reading this
file
bash-2.04# cat /etc/mailer.conf
# $OpenBSD: mailer.conf,v 1.3 2000/04/06 18:24:19 millert Exp $
#
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
#
sendmail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
send-mail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
mailq /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
newaliases /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
hoststat /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
purgestat /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
bash-2.04# ls -la /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
bash#
Do I need all of those?
Ok so I linked them like this:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Apr 10 04:04 /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail ->
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Apr 10 04:03 /usr/sbin/sendmail ->
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail
Then I changed this
bash-2.04# cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
user
To this
bash-2.04# cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am usuing all virtuals via vpopmail, and that account works. I think I am all set.
Wow I learned something again today. Thanks Dave.
Thanks again
