I have a small server (Ubuntu 10.04) at my house and I would like to forward root
's email to my gmail hosted domain to get security notifications and what not.
I ripped everything out and started from scratch and ran into some other issues.
I now have sendmail working in the sense that I can mail some@external.com
and get the mail.
HOWEVER, adding an address to /root/.forward
does not actually forward the message. I get the following in my logs:
Dec 22 14:04:37 batcave sendmail[4695]:

You can see where my local sendmail instance accepts it then hands it off to my ISP, but with the wrong address (root@batcave.net).
