Using /etc/aliases should work if you have sendmail enabled. 0. You should have an entry in your /etc/inet/hosts file for your mail server. 1. Edit /etc/aliases (as privileged user) Add a line (usually after the "Local aliases" section), e.g. root: tomwaters@<hostname of your 192.168.0.2 mail server> 2. Update the aliases db: # newaliases That should do it.
