Redirect local root mail to an external email address on HPSS servers

1. Check if "postfix" bzw. sendmail mail server is already installed.

Notice: on RHEL Hosts postfix is already installed but on SL hosts its sendmail. 

# service postfix status

# yum install postfix (On HPSS Server it was already installed and running)

2. Edit /etc/aliases 

root: hpss-admin@lists.kit.edu

4. Run command on shell: 

# newaliases

5. Restart mail server 

# service postfix restart

6. Test 

#echo "Hello from hpsscr01." | mail -s "hpsscr01 email-test-message" root
