Re: [cobalt-users] From address in system mail messages

["Tony Clements" <t..clements@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well its not a public server yet and I am well aware of this.
The problem is as stated before I receive email on multi Raq systems.
they all state from root in the email.
I would not prefer to rewrite crontab and other software such as chrootkit
to know what server mailed me.
Advice such as RTFM is not truly advice since this isn't covered in the
Linux man pages or the Cobalt OS 6.0 man.
