Look in /etc/mail/aliases. This setting isn't BSD per se. It's sendmail that reads the aliases database. Later, Jason C.

See /etc/aliases, you must find something like this: root: yourmail If you want to change that, you should run newaliases after modifying that.

And if it's not set in /etc/mail/aliases, try checking for a /root/.forward file.

I have sometimes seen cron jobs that pipe directly into mail, i.e., foo | mail -sZounds!
