Aug 8 07:14:37 Jenny sendmail[31172]: j78BEbAq031172: from=daven, size=63, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200508081114.j78BEbAq031172@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=daven@localhost Aug 8 07:14:38 Jenny sendmail[31173]: j78BEb04031173: from=<daven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, size=356, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200508081114.j78BEbAq031172@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=Jenny.daveshome [127.0.0.1] Aug 8 07:14:38 Jenny sendmail[31172]: j78BEbAq031172: to=root, ctladdr=daven (500/500), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30063, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (j78BEb04031173 Message accepted for delivery) Aug 8 07:14:38 Jenny sendmail[31174]: j78BEb04031173: to=<root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, ctladdr=<daven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (500/500), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30575, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent So it looks like the message isn't being forwarded. I su'd and sent a message the same way to daven and it was received. I then went to /etc, checked the aliases file and the last line has the person to receive root's e-mail as daven, and reran newaliases, and got the expected output. as daven I tried the mail again and it wasn't received.
