Daily report cannot be emailed to a jailed mail server

Hi,

FreeBSD 7.2-R box with 10 jails.

The mail server (actually its a mail filter) is hosted on the same
server inside a jail.

I can't seem to get the main server reports to be sent to the mail
filter inside the jail inside the same box.

so.. root at localhost tries to send an email to someone at anotherdomain.com.au

The MX entry for anotherdomain.com.au points to the mailfilter on the
server (jailed).


I've changed my /etc/mail/aliases to have
root: someone at anotherdomain.com.au
and ran newaliases.

When i try to send an email i get
in /var/log/messages
sm-mta[94682]: n97LeeOw094682: Losing ./qfn97LeeOw094682: savemail panic
Oct  8 08:40:40 server sm-mta[94682]: n97LeeOw094682: SYSERR(root):

In /var/log/maillog

Oct  8 08:47:07 server sm-mta[95130]: n97Ll7VV095129: n97Ll7VV095130:
DSN: Local configuration error

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
