[rancid] Re: Weird email problem

[David Luyer]

It says mailer=local on that line, and the other line was sending
to 127.0.0.1 - presumably the MSA to MTA handoff.

Is this maillog from your mail server or your rancid server?
Or is rancid running on your mail server?

It seems possible that you've configured your rancid server to
think it is a final mail server for your domain, so your email
is ending up in /var/spool/mail/$USER on the rancid server, when
it should be being sent off to a different server.
