Hi,

Try running the following:

sendmail -bv root
grep root /etc/mail/aliases

Both should just tell you where root emails go, it should be defined in the alias file. If the outputs does not match it could be that the alias file is not updated, run:

newalias

Check for a .forward file in roots home directory.

Regards
Ian

Postmaster: root
nobody: root
hostmaster: root
usenet: root

Hi,

The full command path is:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bv root

is the other email address local on this machine?

Also check /var/log/syslog.

What exactly was/is the content of roots .forward file.
