Using nabble doesn't go well with all the ongoing sender authorization checks. $ host -t txt medfin.com.au medfin.com.au descriptive text v=spf1 a mx ip4:203.110.140.216/29 ip4:203.94.138.208/29 ~all ok, it's a ~all, but still... Last time I noticed, someone sent me via nabble with a gmail address. Given that I already have problems with gmail coming out of gmail servers, I'm not going to adjust my config for that ;-p
Re: Daily run output
If the actual subject is Daily Run Output, it's most likely being generated by a FreeBSD system. By default those emails go to root. I'm not sure how to change that, but at least this should help with the googling.

Could someone tell me what configuration file i need to change in order to change the email address this email is being sent to? Regards, To change the address where cron job messages are sent, follow directions given by Rubin Bennett. If you only want to change where logwatch messages go, then add a 'MailTo = ' entry into the file '/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf' - defaults are saved in the file '/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf' If however, you want to redirect all messages sent to user 'root' to another user account or even to a group, here's what you need to do: 1/ Create a new user account - a good name is 'sysnotify' 2/ Locate the line starting with 'root:' in the file '/etc/aliases' and change it to look like this: root: sysnotify 3/ Create the file 'home/sysnotify/.forward' and add the follwing to it: us...@domain.com,us...@domain.com,us...@domain.com,[local logon id],... You can add as many e-mail addresses as you like as long as you comma separate them! If you want the message sent a user on the same system that has an account on the box, then you can simply enter that users logon id. If you want a copy left in the 'sysnotify' account, then you need to enter '\sysnotify' into that file. The '\' ensure that a loop is not created! The assumption I made for the above is that you are running a Red Hat Linux based Linux server such as Red Hat itself, Fedora Core, or CentOS. Cheers, Anthony.
RE: Daily run output
Could someone tell me what configuration file i need to change in order to change the email address this email is being sent to? *** I'd check crontab (crontab -l as root, list /var/spool/cron and /etc/cron.* and /etc/crontab) for what is running at the time the mail is sent. It may be something like spamstats.pl but it sounds more like whoever set the server up grabbed or wrote a wrapper script that does more than spamstats.pl does. It might also be a custom addition to logwatch, though that's less likely. Check that by looking in: /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/ /etc/logwatch/conf/services/ Another possibility is that the mail is being redirected. Look in /etc/aliases to see if this is the case.

Re: Daily run output
AFAIK, that's not part of SpamAssassin, so you'd need to find whatever is generating that e-mail and change it. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but this isn't an option I'm aware of.
