Hi all.
Sorry, but here is another newbie question. I am running Fedora Core 1
and by default it sends daily system status emails the local mail spool
of 'root'. I was wondering a couple of things...
1. What process is actually sending the email? is it a cron job, system
service, or what? (00-logwatch???)
and
2. How does one change the recipient of the email so that it goes to my
internet email address (as this is a remote server and I would like to
receive the emails at home). I found the $Config{'mailto'}="root"; in
00-logwatch cron job, but when I changed it to to my email address
(escaping the \@) the script ran, but I didn't receive any email....
Thanks for your help.
