Hi-

I'm sorry-- I know this is a lame question and I'm sure tons of people do
this but I can't seem to find it documented anywhere.  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
