[Tomas213]

Hello TIm.

Today i noticed that my sylog is over 300 GB!

most of the file was like that :

********************************************************************************

Hi Thomas

Was it actually your syslog getting large, or your mail spool?

I believe the cronjob emails are supposed to go to root. Is the problem that nullmailer isn't setup to forward root to the correct location?
