BigBrother BB4 is not mailing

Are you still using Big Brother monitoring system (http://www.bb4.org) as I do? Does that old undocumented piece of software send you any notification via mail? Then please check those points:

1) BB needs the command mail. So make shure that "mailx" or the mail command is installed on your system.

2) Check the bbsys.local file, if the alias for mail is set. If not, enter this line manually MAIL="/bin/mail -s"; export MAIL
Oh no! But the file tells you not to edit it by hand!?!... Just do it...

3) Take care of your bbwarnsetup.cfg and bbwarnrules.cfg files

4) check your logs under ../bbvar/acks/notifications.log

Enjoy your daily dosis of SPAM
