/usr/local/slash/sbin/dailyStuff sends the headline email,
specifically its mailingList() subroutine.  Check
/usr/local/slash/site/yoursitename/logs/slashd.log to make sure it
has the lines "It's Tomorrow: Run Slashd daily Voodoo".  If you
want, add some code to dailyStuff to log what it's doing (append log
lines to a file in /tmp, for example, every time it calls
sendEmail).

Don't forget to check your /var/log/mail* logs just in case :)
