 		I'm totally stumped. I can't figure out how to get syslog and vicie cron to email root with data. I also can't figure out how to configure sendmail.
How can I have sendmail email all root emails to my Gmail account (I have full access to an smtp server over @ jqsoftware.com).

If you suggest other programs please tell me why you suggest them.

 		You need to use aliasing. This might be what your after, if not let me know. http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~radionet/nuc1996/ref/usail/mail/aliasing/
