Sounds like you had that name (server6) as host and domain in install time.

Fast fix is to make server6.server6 as aliasdomain to mydomain.nl ;)
Because maybe some other reports still might come to that original hostname.

Maybe there is a proper way to change the hostname and domain name to something else that was when installing the server. But I dont know it, the old names always haunt back. So maybe somebody else can share a light on this subject.

Hi all

logwatch is sending the mail to "root". This is the default.

As I edited all files in "/var/qmail/alias/" to "postmas...@mydomain.nl", I get the mail:

    Hi. This is the qmail-send program at server6.

It mentions twice the hostname of my server (server6).

If I change the logwatch.conf MailTo line to =MailTo = postmas...@mydomain.nl=, the mail is send correctly to my account.

In the logwatch script the "To:" is filled in correctly (I added a second line to echo the variable). The line is "To: root". No additons of "@server6.server6".

Where is the double servername coming from?
