No system mail like security run output FreeBSD

[devnu11]

Since I installed Plesk 7.5.3 on my FreeBSD 5.3 box I have not been getting system mail deliveries like the default security run output or daily run output. If I use a program like webmin for the "read mail" module and send mail from the root account to an outside account qmail is used to send the message and it arrives. If I send a message from a system user account like admin to root the mail does not appear. I have even tried a .forward file to an outside email address and the mail does not get delivered. Do I have to change /etc/mailer.conf or something similar? Anything to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hi,

Did you set up the /etc/aliases ? like this

root: you_email@your_domain.com

and execute the newaliases script ?

In /etc/periodic.conf you can set something like this should you wish:

daily_output="[email protected]"
weekly_output="[email protected]"
monthly_output="[email protected]"

That should work as I'm sure the security check runs from periodic
