I would like to send system-mail (mail that otherwise is sent to root@localhost) to my real mailadresse, which I read all the time. My outgoing smtp-server that I use is mail.lyse.no. I'm not going to recieve mail on this, only send mail out. Anybody have an url to some easy documentation?
Depends on the MTA you choose (postfix or exim are good choices) . Basically you want a single configuration entry, usually goes in /etc/aliases (at least if you are using sendmail or postfix for MTA). The entry should be 'root: \root, real-address@real.mail.domain'. The '\root,' thing makes it also put a copy locally. It is optional, but it is a good idea for when you are off the net and doing emergency maintenance.
Extra: for setting up an MTA, you want to find an option called smarthost, this should be configured to whatever your internet provider says is your "server for outgoing mail". This is nessesary if you ever use your local MTA to deliver mail outside your ISP's network.
