root doesn't get any mail

[Webcart]

Hello,

By default, FreeBSD sends out daily reports to root, which I always forward to my e-mail address by editing /etc/aliases file.

The only box I don't get reports from is the one where DA is installed. root's mailbox on the server is also empty. It looks like those mails disappear :confused:

I never configured anything but sendmail myself, so I am really not sure where to start looking.

Hello,

Try this. Look for:


system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
retry_use_local_part
# user = eximin your /etc/exim.conf file, and make sure that it appears *before*

localuser:
driver = accept
check_local_user
transport = local_delivery
Then restart exim.
