Hi list: After a fresh install of FC4t2, I'm having a problem getting roots mail forwarded to my mail account. This feature was working for me under FC4t1 and FC3 but not now. I edited the /etc/aliases file to send roots mail to my account and ran newaliases but that didn't make any change. Here is the message I'm receiving: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Returned mail: see transcript for details Date: 04-17-2005 �0429 From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The original message was received at Sun, 17 Apr 2005 04:29:32 -0700 from root@localhost � �----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- root � � (reason: 553 5.5.4 <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>...

I'm also not sure from the documentation exactly where the real domain name (FQDN?) needs to go. This is a strictly in-home network with this computer being linux2.home contents of /etc/hosts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 192.168.0.10 linux.home linux 127.0.0.1 linux2 localhost.localdomain localhost #<<<<< the way FC4t2 set it 192.168.0.20 dos.home dos 192.168.0.30 win2k.home win2k 192.168.0.40 betty.home betty 192.168.0.50 laptop.home laptop 192.168.0.100 test.home test 192.168.0.15 linux2.home linux2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hope someone can give me some clear direction here.
