Yeah, linux sometimes seems to have an amazing ability to fix itself overnight.

I came in this morning, and I had 41 messages from root! I was working on the DNS config for that box yesterday, so it must have been a DNS issue. I left the root: marc commented out in /etc/aliases, and the /root/.forward seems to work now.

If so, type "mutt" and see if it is there. You have to edit your /etc/aliases file for the mail to get forwarded to an external account. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/26/03 12:36PM >>> We just reloaded one of our 7.2 boxes with RedHat 8.0. On 7.2, I had a file /root/.forward with my external e-mail address in it. Whenever root received a message, it would forward it to my external address. With this new 8.0 box, it doesn't do that. Actually, no local mail is being delivered either. If I remove the /root/.forward file, then send mail locally to root, it never gets there. Here is what my /etc/maillog looks like when I locally try to send a message to root: Feb 26 09:37:21 server3 sendmail[2867]: h1QHbL0F002867: from=root, size=36, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's it. Nothing more. The message disappears into the void. Has anyone had a similar experience, or does anyone have any advice?
