    ISPConfig v2.2.11 on Debiag v4.0rc2 (etch) with Perfect Setup:

    I would like to point that I notice some emails sent to 'nobody' user

    This is my /var/mail/nobody
    Code:
    From [email protected]  Sat Apr  7 06:25:04 2007
Return-Path: <[email protected]>
X-Original-To: root
Delivered-To: [email protected]
Received: by myhost.mydomain.net (Postfix, from userid 0)

    This is the realated /var/log/mail.log piece
    Code:
    Apr 23 06:25:02 mega postfix/pickup[2754]: B45794F8D3: uid=0 from=<root>
Apr 23 06:25:02 mega postfix/cleanup[4065]: B45794F8D3: message-id=<[email protected]>
Apr 23 06:25:02 mega postfix/qmgr[30454]: B45794F8D3: from=<[email protected]>, size=1249, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Apr 23 06:25:02 mega postfix/local[4067]: B45794F8D3: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<root>, relay=local, delay=0.53, delays=0.44/0/0/0.08, dsn=2.0.0, stat
us=sent (delivered to command: procmail -a "$EXTENSION")
Apr 23 06:25:02 mega postfix/qmgr[30454]: B45794F8D3: removed

    The servername is myhost.mydomain.net so the email goes to [email protected]

    What I'm asking is:

    1. Is there any way to track why emails to [email protected] goes to 'nobody' ?

    2. What is the best way to tell the system to send root's email to [email protected] ?


    Thanks a lot.

    P.S. Any hint also to solve the
    Code:
    check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "it_IT.UTF-8
    issue?

    Define who should get root's email in /etc/aliases. And be sure to run newaliases after changing that file.

    I have this /etc/aliases
    Code:
    # See man 5 aliases for format
postmaster:    root
    Do you mean to edit in something like
    Code:
    postmaster:    root
root: "[email protected]"
    ?

    At the very end of the file there should be somthing that looks like this...

    Code:
    # Person who should get root's email
root:       root
    Change it to..
    Code:
    # Person who should get root's email
root:       [email protected]
    Do not use quotes around the address.
