RE: newaliases not working?
Mail log below. The first four lines are a result of running 'periodic daily'. The last four lines is when I address a mail directly to admin(at)dawnsign.com (the @ sign has been changed to protect it).

I'm having trouble getting the periodic reports sent out on a daily basis from a FreeBSD 6.2 server. I've changed the /etc/aliases file so that root points to an administrative mail address. You can do that directly in /etc/periodic.conf: daily_output=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Nice to know this. However, I still would like to fix the issue with the /etc/aliases not being used to translate any mail sent to root to an alternate email address. If anyone knows a cure to this, I'd be grateful.

newaliases not working?
I'm having trouble getting the periodic reports sent out on a daily basis from a FreeBSD 6.2 server. I've changed the /etc/aliases file so that root points to an administrative mail address. But for some reason it doesn't get translated to the admin email address. I've run the 'newaliases' several times to no avail. Mail log below.
