I am trying to migrate from an older server running RH7.3 to RH8.0, but I have run into a few roadblocks. The two boxes are running Apache, MySQL, and not much else. It appears that the new box does not have internal email configured properly. Email is only used with logwatch to keep track of the log events. The firewall is configured to be open for only port 80 and 22, and 123 when NTP runs. On the old box running RH7.3, I did not have to configure the internal email system- it just worked. On the newer box, I have tried everything- un/installed sendmail, un/installed postfix, but it appears that the box is sending email to to root@DNSNAME.edu and not to the root account on the box like the 7.3 box does. There is enough hard drive space, and the hardware seems to be working, so this is not a hardware issue. Is there a fix? The output from the mailog is: (NOTE: part of the DNS name has been replaced with DNSNAME to protect the privacy of the server and university).
