I'm having great difficulty in getting email from system using gnus,
following a fresh install last weekend.

Heres the relevant section form my config -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     (to "logcheck@london" "system")
     (to "root@localhost.localdomain" "system")
     (any "root@london" "system")
     (any "boudiccas@localhost" "system")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I've checked what they are coming from and the root emails are coming
from 'root@localhost.localdomain' and my emails are coming from
'boudiccas@localhost.localdomain'.

But emails from 'root@localhost.localdomain (Cron Daemon)' are being
downloaded and read.

How can I configure it such that I can download and read them please?

Thanks
Sharon.
