end daily run output forwarding

I put my email address into /etc/aliases for root so I could receive the daily run output, etc. It worked fine. However, I no longer want to receive them so I commented out my email, but I'm still getting the messages forwarded.

What should I do to end this? I just want to leave roots mail in roots mailbox on the local machine.

FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE

Thanks for the help...

Remember to run newaliases(1) after you've modified the /etc/aliases file.
 
/etc/aliases does actually have a big warning:

Code: 
#       >>>>>>>>>>      The program "newaliases" must be run after
#       >> NOTE >>      this file is updated for any changes to
#       >>>>>>>>>>      show through to sendmail.

However, I think I have learned to tune out advertising so acutely that I never saw it. Anything that looks big and flashy is immediately ignored by my brain. Stupid brain.
