I watched the recent thread regarding the root's email settings, hoping
to get from it the answer for my problem. And perhaps it was there but
I missed it. So forgive me if this was indeed covered.
I'm trying to configure my system so that messages sent to the root
account are forwarded on to me. I am running logcheck and want all
warnings to be emailed to me. I have edited the line following #Person
who should get root's mail in /etc/aliases to read root:
me-user at myemailaddress.com (example to state the obvious). I have then
run newaliases. Here's my trouble, or lack of understanding. I am not
getting any of the roots messages. I do not have a mailserver running
on this box. Sendmail is stopped. How should I/or should I need to
configure an email account in thunderbird or the like? How do I forward
the roots mail to me-user at myemailaddress.com? I'm missing something
obvious, but this greenhorn could use your help.
Thanks for your contributions!
