Ollivier,
Maybe you know.  I am trying to filter certain cron messages to root.

.forward
"|/usr/local/bin/filter -o /tmp/root.filter"

.elmrc/filter-rules
if (subject contains "pppoly") then delete

All messages to root are sent to daemon!   The root filterlog cannot be 
accessed.

filter (Tue Nov 14 13:45:01 1995 daemon): Couldn't open log file /root/.elm/filt
erlog

SEE THE DAEMON?

Nov 14 13:45:01 catburg sendmail[1945]: NAA01945: from=root, size=306, class=0, pri=30306, nrcpts=1, msgid=<199511141944.NAA01945@catburg.burgs.org>, relay=root@localhost
Nov 14 13:45:01 catburg sendmail[1945]: NAA01945: to="|/usr/local/bin/filter -o /tmp/root.filter", ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=Sent


If there is no /var/mail/daemon, no message is delivered!

Other users work fine with the same filter and forward files.

Help please.

Thanks,
Boyd
