make the root alias like this:
root: guillermo.fedora@gmail.com
That should do it.
Thanks,
i have think about that, but my PC does not have a reverse lookup
name, so I think the email will be returned, I think i need to
configure exim, postfix, or sendmail to send email via an account
using a login and password, to use an authenticated smtp server.
am I right?
