Sending Mail via my Internet Provider

N

NightTripper

I have FreeBSD 8.2 running with a NOAAport program on it. I would like to have the mail generated by FreeBSD sent to me by way of my internet provider (mediacom) email account. I would prefer not to run a mail server. And I do not need to have FreeBSD receiving any mail. Is this possible?

I'm very green at this. It took me over a month to get the NOAAport system running on FreeBSD. But I'm game for just about anything.

What did I just do with the alias?

Configured the system to forward any new messages to the e-mail address you listed in /etc/aliases.

Old messages have been "delivered" to root's e-mail account on the system (aka /var/spool/mail/root). In order to forward those messages on to somewhere else, you need to read them (via mail(1)) and then manually forward them along (or delete them).
 
New mail will be sent on. Already delivered mail sits in /var/mail/root, and will not. It's not that confusing.

You are right. It was just that easy. My reports were delivered to my commercial account.

Thank you very much DutchDaemon
