Why is my computer system sending out e-mails
I am presently making use of Debian Squeeze 6.0. The manager of my job area obtains each week messages from numerous procedures of my system:
- cron
- smartd
- ...
The messages are send to [email protected] I believe that the mail needs to be send to [email protected] or something, yet I assume some redirection is done someplace.
Many thanks
MODIFY:
echo "test" | mail root -s "this is a test"
cat /var/log/mail.log

I visualize that Dave is appropriate and also your concern is with /etc/aliases, yet FWIW, you can set cron result to head to a details address by placing a MAILTO line on top. Run crontab -e and also add something like [email protected] as the first line. Keep in mind that this will certainly experience the normal email system you have actually mounted, which probably consists of any kind of /etc/aliases adjustments.
Check/ etc/aliases, seek the line
origin : origin @workdomain.com
modify : as an examination, attempt this
resemble "examination" | mail origin - s "this is an examination"
after that examine/ var/log/maillog, and also the headers when it is obtained on your admins equipment
