This will forward roots mail. Edit the aliases file.
vi /etc/aliases
Go to the last line in the file (shortcut key 'G') and add the new email address.
Before I started these commands I needed to install m4 and sendmail-cf
yum install m4 yum install sendmail-cf
Also mail didnt come with fedora 13 so I needed to install it
yum install mailx
# Person who should get root's mail root: root, freier@gmail.com
Set up the domain
This is to setup the domain so it doesn't send mail from localhost.localdomain
1. Edit sendmail config
# vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
2. Append/add/modify the lines as follows:
MASQUERADE_AS(cyberciti.biz)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_envelope)dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(cyberciti.biz)dnl
3. Save and close the file. Replace domain name cyberciti.biz with your actual domain name. Update and restat sendmail server:
# m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf # /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
