Exim doesnt reports anything by itself. Only the MUA (mailx, mutt, anymua) can drive a report the right way to you. All Unix[script/programs] uses to talk to stdout, so a simple prayer like : /usr/local/cqritytchek | mutt -x -s "Subjec"t [EMAIL PROTECTED] will send the report issued by cqritytchek, no matter you run Exim, Sendmail or Postfix. hth,Jacques -- 0CBE 3F8A 5A77 A35C 27C7 2D42 3EC5 806B 9178 088D

RE: configuring Checksecurity to email reports to root
I've never used checksecurity, but I assume any reports it creates will be sent to root. Assuming you have root aliased to a regular user account, that's where the reports will end up. j. -- Jeremy L.
