emails are going to root@localhost

Post by lodperera »

Hi Guys,

My OTRS installation is trying to send notification emails to root@localhost. I would like to know where I could change the email address root@localhost to an actual email address.

I have done the following to try and change the TO address.

1. Admin-->email addresses
2. changed in /etc/aliases
3. changed in /root/.forward
4. ran newaliases command


But still I receive failures as below.
Can someone help me figure out where to change the email address of root@localhost?

PS: I wasn't able to run newaliases command as

Code: Select all

[root@helpdesk ~]# cat /etc/aliases

#  Aliases in this file will NOT be expanded in the header from
#  Mail, but WILL be visible over networks or from /bin/mail.

Search the Daemon settings in SysConfig... There is a notificationRecipient option (I don't know the exact name of that option)...

Just as an added note, the setting reneeb mentioned can be found in Daemon::ScheduleTaskWorker and is called Daemon::ScheduleTaskWorker::NotificationRecipientEmail.
