I am looking to utilize the "mail" command in hpux to setup alerts for specific activities. This would email a message to an internet mail address. How do I have to setup my unix configuration to be able to forward mail to a separate SMTP server on the network (also directly on the internet) so that any outside email address can receive these?

How to forward HPUX mail to internet mail?
- Thread starter racer70

You need to set the mail forwarding host in your sendmail.cf file -- and then restart sendmail.
This host needs to be a mail server capable of forwarding mail.
There are a couple of other threads in the UNIX forums asking about this actually. Could I suggest you search on sendmail in the UNIX forums?
Might be worth writing the various post up into a FAQ -- now then, if I *only* knew something about sendmail.... Mike
