Newbie Question: Mail from from cron jobs...
Hi, Everyday, cron is sending me status reports of jobs it ran. In my /etc/mail/aliases I configured root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it works fine. The problem, is that the mail is coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have a spamfirewall and it rejects the mail saying localhost.mydomain.com is invalid. Where can I change the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?

Hi Ian,
set your hostname in /etc/rc.conf:
it probably wouldn't hurt either to have name resolution properly setup (either
