Hi Dylan, You should just be able to modify /etc/aliases and put in the e-mail alias for root. root: my@external.email Then run the 'newaliases' program and it should be all good. You may have to allow the IP of the box to be relayed through your mail server. But if it is on the ISP's network they usually allow it by default. Cheers, Terry -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Dylan Smith Sent: Thursday, 26 July 2007 7:54 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Sendmail question I am currently on the last stages of setting up a FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE File and Network Application Server. One of my last tasks is to simple forward all mail from root out through my isp's SMTP(requires authentication) server and to an email account i have elsewhere. That is to say i have no purpose for a mail server other than to handle mail from things like periodic and to move that mail elsewhere. Can this be easily accomplished? If so are there any guides/how-to's? I have done a search around my usual BSD sites and books and found nothing that is easily modified to my circumstances. Thanks, Dylan. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
