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:
Code:
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 = exim
in your /etc/exim.conf file, and make sure that it appears *before*
Code:
localuser:
  driver = accept
  check_local_user
  transport = local_delivery
Then restart exim.

John
