-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

mail to root is "aliased" to spla...@d-g-c.de. sending an email from the linux
shell as user root to ro...@d-g-c.de or root ("mail -s TEST root") works fine.
only automatic mails from cronjobs cause this behaviour... any idea whats going wrong?

thx for any help
