I can change that file but how do I tell my mail program to retrieve it? In other words for a regular inet account I just need my user name my password, and the mail server settings. How do I set it up to receive this mail?
It depends on your mail client. For many, looking at the local spool will
just be the default.
I swap back and forth now between Tbird and Evolution. Right now I'm using Thunderbird. How would I go about it there?
Matthew,
Sendmail running on the FC box is what is handling the mail the root address is root@yourmachinename. If you edit that line to something like:
root yourname@youraddress, sendmail will lookup the mx record and send the mail there. If this is your address at your ISP you should get it there depending on firewalls etc.
Just my thoughts.
Rob
but you mean in a different file than aliases right?
Sorry, edit the file /etc/aliases and remove the # before root, and then add the e-mail address you want the mail sent to. Once you have done that run newaliases and it will create a new file that sendmail can read. Rob
I've already done all that. I'll play with it some more.
Is it my internet e-mail address or my local one?
