Here is the setup. We are on a private vlan as in 192.168.x.x. All local host names are resolved via hosts files. Messages to go to the big wide world must go through Suddenlink's SMTP smarthost and I definitely don't want to break that. On rare occasions, I want to forward an email to the Mac which normally doesn't send or receive emails. What would be the simplest way to "forward" an email from the Linux box to the Mac's mailer? The Mac only needs to be able to receive, not send any email. Thank you Martin WB5AGZ
Why not create a user on the Linux box to receive such emails and
have the MAC client connect to that user on the Linux box. You
might have to install a pop server (popa3d ... easiest to install
and configure) or imac server (dovecot-imapd ... harder to
configure and probably more than you need) on the Linux box if one
isn't installed already.
Your MAC would have to have an email client capable of connecting
to a pop or imac mailbox at the ip of the Linux box or host name
in the hosts file corresponding to the Linux box.
