I am having trouble redirecting root's email to an external email
account. This is a 4.7-Release box with not very modifications done to
the standard installation.
I have tried creating a .forward file and placing it in /root with my
external email address in the file. No luck.
I tried editing /etc/aliases and changed the line:
#root : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to:
root : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and then I ran the newaliases command. Still no luck.
I think it has something to do with name resolution, but I'm not sure
what's going on. In /etc/hosts I have the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost.visimation.com localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx forcefield.visimation.com forcefield
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx forcefield.visimation.com.
In /etc/resolv.conf I have this:
Domain visimation.com
Nameserver 10.0.0.x
When I look at /var/spool/clientmqueue, it is full of messages. Here is
a snippet of one:
