When it comes to email administration, I'm a newbie. I have a network of FreeBSD systems and I don't want to run around to each one and check root mail. Instead, I'd like the mail handler to automatically forward it all to this email account. I've tried adding root rick@geckobot.com and root@whatevermachine rick@geckobot.com followed by "make" to rebuild the database and HUP to sendmail, but mail to root still doesn't seem to get forwarded. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks in advance. Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
