Can sendmail re-route sending of email?

  • 772

I have a redmine install, that uses sendmail to notify users of issue updates. I have access to the admin account, and also to my regular account. I cannot enter my regular email as the admin account email: each user must have a unique email address.

I would like to alias the admin email so that it is sent to my regular account instead.

So, map admin@MY_COMPANY.com -----> MY_NAME@MY_COMPANY.com

Is this possible. I am only using sendmail to send mail; the company email server is managed on another server.

Thanks!

  1. /etc/aliases is for this. 

    man aliases

  2. If your company email server supports recipient delimiter (usually '+'), you can just enter, for example:

    [email protected]

    Recipient delimiter is supported by Gmail, Google Apps, and Postfix mail servers.
