All important system mail is sent to 'root' (or an alias that maps to root). All you need to do is add an alias in /etc/mail/aliases that forwards all 'root' mail to 'user@companymail.com'. You can leave sendmail disabled, and you don't need to touch sendmail.cf. I do this for all of the FreeBSD-based NAT/Firewall boxes I deploy at client sites, and it's wonderful coming in to work in the morning and seeing status reports for all of my boxen. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
