That's not periodic, that's your MTA. Periodic just sends it to "root" (by default, anyway - it's settable in /etc/periodic.conf; see /etc/defaults/periodic.conf for more info). Nick's suggestion of pointing root's mail to where you want it via /etc/aliases (or whatever your MTA uses) is probably the best one. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
