So I've learned after some exhaustive googling. It sucks when you get
this idea in your head and refuse to let it go. I finally have
postfix set up so mail to root is delivered to my regular email
account. I have commented out the line in /etc/mail/mail.rc that
reads: # set ask askcc append dot save crt so it doesn't ask for
subject, CC: attachments, etc. I've even managed to add a mail
command to my backup script to email me the results.
Damn! I love Gentoo. It has forced me to learn a lot of things that
Red Hat did for me but I had no idea of how, and, in a lot of cases,
why.
