I usually just edit the /etc/aliases file to have an email for root forwarded to a different account: root: me@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Then run 'newaliases'. If you use .forward file, the pitfall is usually with the permission of the .forward file. Take a look at /var/log/maillog or /var/log/messages (ie. grep for ".forward"). You should not need to cange anything in the log script itself. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
