Ah .... yes I am mailling from root ... but in fact this alias (security) is used for
/etc/hosts.deny:
ALL: ALL: twist = /usr/bin/finger -l | /usr/bin/Mail -s [`/bin/hostname`]-%d-%h
security
and so no mails are sent to root ...
do you have any idea for make this working ?
this is my /etc/aliases
# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root
# General redirections for pseudo accounts.
bin: root
daemon: root
games: root
ingres: root
nobody: root
system: root
toor: root
uucp: root
# Well-known aliases.
manager: root
dumper: root
operator: root
# trap decode to catch security attacks
decode: root
security: [EMAIL PROTECTED], root
Thanks
