Hhm. I thought the problem was that you would like to change the From: of those e-mails not the To: ? -- Oliver PETER, email: hoschi@mouhaha.de, ICQ# 113969174 "Worker bees can leave. Even drones can fly away. The Queen is their slave." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Exactly... I receive the emails since I correctly configured my aliases to redirect all mails externally... The problem I have is with the from... Someone told me to change the hostname in rc.conf, that won't work since I have 4 machines: Machine1.mydomain.com Machine2.mydomain.com Machine3.mydomain.com Machine4.mydomain.com I want the mail from to be root@mydomain.com not root@localhost.mydomain.com ... Not too sure where to look into to fix this
