The mandrake system security cron that checks the system every hour for changes
etc sent me the mail as i configured it to in the setup. I don't have any
servers running or even installed on tis box other than SBBS. I have never even
configured my email programs on that box. I just use it to run sbbs and do the
mandrake updates and man pages. I have just tried to keep it real simple for
now. see the response i wrote Deuce for more info.

Thank you for your response,
