In Debian 2.2, logcheck is configured out of the box to mail reports to root every hour. I'm using Postfix for my MTA. Here's what's happening:
logcheck mails its report to root, which is translated into [EMAIL PROTECTED] On my local lan, the domain is mars.lan, but I get my email from my ISP at quillandmouse.com. So the "root" address is being rewritten as [EMAIL PROTECTED] So what happens is that Postfix sends this out to my ISP. On my domain at my ISP, any mail not to a known addressee at quillandmouse.com gets forwarded to me. So I get all these hourly messages when I fetch mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't mind getting the messages, but they're going all the way to my ISP and then back down, when they should really just be locally mailed to me. But here's what makes it worse: My ISP won't accept any mail from anyone at mars.lan. It insists mail going to it has the quillandmouse.com domain on it. So I've had to make nearly everything in postfix so that it has quillandmouse.com on the end of it. I'm just not sure what to change so that mail for local delivery (like from root) gets delivered _locally_. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Paul
