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.
# 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
Make sure you do a back up, I have not got this to work yet.
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 insatll mailx
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
Send a sample mail
If you need to install mail, it does not come with fedora
yum install mailx
To start the message type:
# mail -s “Hello world” {user}
When you press enter you can type the rest of the email. Ctrl+D ends the email and sends it.
Ctrl+D

If mailx stops working... 1. yum install postfix
2. service postfix restart
Hack Domain sendmail.cf
This is a ok hack I guess?
vi sendmail.cf
search for
Dj$w.FOO.COM
and change it too
Dj$w.johnfreier.com
it will change the send address from root@localhost.johnfreier.com
