Exim doesn't send mail to root. IIRC you have to set another user as sysadmin, for exim, and it sends mail to that user (etc/aliases). The gory details are in the exim docs (/usr/doc/spec.txt.gz). If your not using exim, then please ignore the above. HTH -- User n.: A programmer who will believe anything you tell him. _______________________________________________________
