-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Can someone please help me with this. I read where it's safer to have an admin read root's mail than for the root user himself. So, I did the /etc/aliases & newaliases thing, I tried the aliase in /etc/mail & did a "make" there & a make restart, tried a .forward file in roots home directory, tried the virtusertable & local-host-names & mailertable in /etc/mail, & so far nothing but trouble. Here's the type of messages I'm getting when the system fails to relay roots mail: May 28 15:02:07 dualman sm-mta[2278]: j4SK270A002278: Losing ./qfj4SK270A002278: savemail panic May 28 15:02:06 dualman sm-mta[2277]: j4SK250A002277: SYSERR(root): rewrite: excessive recursion (max 50), ruleset canonify May 28 15:02:07 dualman sm-mta[2278]: j4SK270A002278: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere It also says the local user cannot be found, which I think is my screwup for whatever way I entered the user in aliases and virtusertable. Would it be wiser just to undo everything, and just try using the .forward file for root? Trying to get everything on here working right so I can teach myself how to do a cvsup & learn to rebuild & merge everything, but this is for sure holding me back. Thanks for any help I can get. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCmN6Ey0Ty5RZE55oRAn8dAKCWXOlhvwT7UGGxsKg7rKWZPiVsvwCbBqjo cFvRUcyfj5cCVXQ9GJfHY0A= =qqf0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
