RE: re-directing root's mail to my external mail id

Pardon my top-posting... but that's how Outlook is... until I get my Linux
mail swung over...

Try using the /etc/aliases file and set root as an alias for user@domain

Read the doc at the top of the aliases file... run "newaliases" after making
a change to the file.

Subject: re-directing root's mail to my external mail id



I _amost_ have this working.  Should be such a simple thing but it is
causing me a lot of grief.  I am using the .forward file in root's home
dir to do the forward.  Right now it is working on only one of three
machines.  I _think_ I have them all configured identically.  In fact I
have copied the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file from the working machine to
the others and stop-make-start of sendmail but it still does not work.
Below is the mail log from the working machine and one non-working
machine.  This is from a reboot and send an email to root sequence.  I
use ximian to send the mail. Is there a better test, possibly a
command-line way?  I see a difference in the last line, that additional
ctladdr parm in the failing case.  Could that be causing the problem?
If so, how do I make it go away?

Suggestions about how to solve this are welcome, the /var/log/maillog
contents follow...
