Thanks Ted, - I should have read more carefully. Well that sort of works - cron jobs get sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] except for the periodic jobs, which are still sent from root@<hostname>.hamcoll.sa.edu.au. Perhaps periodic sends the emails itself instead of cron, though looking at it's source I can't see how. Also, I still need to adjust my sendmail config on the server that is our local smtp server. It seems to be putting the hostname back in cron's emails. Cheers, -- Ian GPG Key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc
