I'm having trouble getting the periodic reports sent out on a daily

translated to the admin email address. I've run the 'newaliases'
several
times to no avail.
Mail log below. The first four lines are a result of running 'periodic
daily'. The last four lines is when I address a mail directly to
admin(at)dawnsign.com (the @ sign has been changed to protect it).

Looks like you have a bad entry in /etc/mail/aliases
This to=to:root, should look like to=dougs
Post the relevant lines from your aliases file.

ps ax shows that sendmail is running as follows:
<snip>
11136 ?? Ss 0:00.08 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail)
11137 ?? Is 0:00.01 sendmail: Queue [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 for
/var/spool/clientmqueue (sendmail)
11170 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/inetd -wW
<snip>
I used to receive these daily & security run output messages until
the day I
installed vsftpd using inetd.
There are no mail in any outbound mail queues.
What could I be doing wrong?
