The servername is myhost.mydomain.net so the email goes to root@myhost.mydomain.net

What I'm asking is:

1. Is there any way to track why emails to root@myhost.mydomain.net goes to 'nobody' ?

2. What is the best way to tell the system to send root's email to admin@anotherdomain.net ?


Thanks a lot.

P.S. Any hint also to solve the check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "it_IT.UTF-8
issue?

Define who should get root's email in /etc/aliases. And be sure to run newaliases after changing that file.

[ADM]

I have this /etc/aliases

# See man 5 aliases for format
postmaster: root


Do you mean to edit in something like

postmaster: root
root: "admin@anotherdomain.net"


?

[Hawker]

At the very end of the file there should be somthing that looks like this...

# Person who should get root's email
root: root

Change it to..
# Person who should get root's email
root: admin@anotherdomain.net

Do not use quotes around the address.
