Topic: Logwatch send to root@myhostname instead of test@mydomain?

==== Provide required information ====
- iRedMail version and backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): iRedMail-0.8.1 LDAP Backend
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 6.2
- Any related log? Log is helpful for troubleshooting.
====

I have setup a new iRedMail-0.8.1 on CentOS 6.2. Evey thing work fine but i notice the logwatch is sending the daily report to root@myhostname instead of test@mydomain. On the previous version of iRedMail the daily report will send to www@mydomain but now iRedMail-0.8.1 use test@mydomain so I assume the daily report will send to test account instead of www account. Is there a way to change that?

Please update alias address for root in /etc/postfix/aliases. For example:

root: user@domain.ltd

Then execute command 'newaliases'.

Re: Logwatch send to root@myhostname instead of test@mydomain?

If /etc/postfix/aliases doesn't exist, iRedMail will try to copy /etc/aliases to /etc/postfix/aliases.
But if /etc/aliases doesn't exist, iRedMail will create an empty file instead.
