Hi I'm trying to re-direct my root email to my external email address.
I altered the entry in /etc/aliases to root: n...@external-address.co.uk Ran newaliases, reloaded postfix and tried sending an email to root The email gets sent to r...@bxxxxxxx-hxxx.co.uk where bxxxxxxx-hxxx.co.uk is the domain set in postfix's main.cf as follows: myhostname = dxxxxxxx.bxxxxxxx-hxxx.co.uk mydomain = bxxxxxxx-hxxx.co.uk myorigin = bxxxxxxx-hxxx.co.uk mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost I had to set myorigin to be mydomain because my ISP will only relay emails from this domain and not sub/hosts within it. I'm assuming that this is the problem, but am banging my head against a brick wall. I have a local account npr on the machine, but even if I just use root: npr and use a .forward to my external address, root's email still goes to r...@bxxxxxxx-hxxx.co.uk although emails to npr will get forwarded correctly. Any help gratefully received! Thanks Nick
