You could put "root: david" in /etc/aliases, and then use your .forward,
or you could cut to the chase and put "root: [EMAIL PROTECTED]",
or you could put your address in /root/.forward.  I'd go the first
option, like you said.

Probably it would work to put "smtp: 127.0.0.1" in /etc/hosts.allow
and "smtp: ALL" in /etc/hosts.deny.  For more on this see
man hosts_access  and this page I saw:

hope it works for you,
