daily log reports

[parachute at optonline.net]

That is not my IP address or what is assigned, i was just using it  
for simplicity...

How can I change the address it sends mail to? I rather change it to  
root at localhost instead or root at domain.tld. I can probably do that by  
changing /etc/aliases but it's strange since I didn't need to do this  
in 5.3
