Default e-mail

[Allan]

Hi,

I have setup a second DA server running centos 5.1, which is svrname.domain.com and all messages, the server is sending mails to [email protected], is there anywhere i can change this so it defaults to [email protected], possibly some sort of send mail or forwarder setup...

I looked in DA control panel, but as i dont have a domain assigned to the server i cant setup a forwarder at the moment...

I will also be linking this server to the first DA machine, i have 2 others which i will be leaving unlinked for the moment.

you can set up a forward file inside your /root directory.

sorry for being dumb but.... how does that work?

 

[sHuKKo]

login as root

when you are in your root folder

nano .forward

write down your email address where all root mail will go

ctrl+x , y

you're done!

thanks, i have made the change and will see if it works soon

Is that a default email on a DA server? If so, where does it forward to? If not, how do you create it?

as for mine, i still see cron job run and email send out from [email protected]

is there some places to change all?

You should probably set up an aliases file in the user's home directory.

For root, that's /root; for admin it's /home/admin.
