Postfix: Cron messages going to ISP

I am running Mandrake 10.1. I ordered 10.0 because it seemed to be pretty
stable, but the vendor had 10.1 in stock, and sent me the "latest."

I have just had a rather irate ISP contact me because cron jobs to root are
going to him. I am using postfix, configured according to a HOWTO for
Mandrake by P Goldman for Mandrake 9.2.

The offending mail is going to (E-Mail Removed)

In /etc/aliases I have that mail for root should be going to my user
account, and it was in fact arriving in my inbox:

# Person who should get root's mail. This alias
# must exist.
# CHANGE THIS LINE to an account of a HUMAN
root: doug

In main.cf I have:

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost

My sender_canonical consists of:

doug (E-Mail Removed)

All that seems perfectly standard.

One thing that was different: 9.2 had mailbox_command already identified,
but this is not so with 10.1. This has nothing to do with where mail goes.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Doug.

I would add some root names also

root (E-Mail Removed)
(E-Mail Removed) (E-Mail Removed)
(E-Mail Removed)lid (E-Mail Removed)

change fw.home.invalid to your host name

be sure to
postmap sender_canonical
and service postfix restart
