'm running FreeBSD 8.0 Release on this particular server and I have a
rather large root mailbox under /var/mail/root.
I have set up an alias under /etc/aliases for new emails, but I need to
forward all the old emails in this mailbox to an external email address.
How can I do that?
--As for the rest, it is mine.
Easiest way I know of is to set up a procmail rule to forward everything to
the external address, then feed the old mailbox to procmail via formail.
===== .procmailrc:

==== Command line:
cat /var/mail/root | formail -s procmail
