Mail from/to root

In my mail log i find some rows (quite a few actually) regarding mail to and/or from root@bubba.excito.com. I guess the system is trying to tell me (the operator) something, log readings or whatever.

I've looked everywhere to change something to make it mail it to me in another way, either place it in the root maildir or send it over an alias.

I have reconfigured the postfix to run virtual aliases, actually relays, only, and all mail work as a charm, except these system mails (?).

I've tried to change this in /etc/hosts and /etc/mailname with no luck.

Below is a typical excerpt from /var/log/mail.log

I do not use pop/imap, nor webmail as all mailaddresses handled are relays, as obvious in the log excerpt my outbound mail is relayed through the mail relay at my ISP, telia.

Well guys, guess what.

Now, it's working. I guess

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/postfix reload

didn't do the trick but

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

did.

So, the change in the mailname file must have done the trick.
