I have a redmine install, that uses sendmail to notify users of issue updates. I have access to the admin account, and also to my regular account. I cannot enter my regular email as the admin account email: each user must have a unique email address.

I would like to alias the admin email so that it is sent to my regular account instead.

So, map admin@MY_COMPANY.com -----> MY_NAME@MY_COMPANY.com

Is this possible. I am only using sendmail to send mail; the company email server is managed on another server.

Thanks!

/etc/aliases is for this. 

man aliases

  • Thanks, Nathan. I did man aliases, but this file seems to be used for aliasing local users. I guess I need a virtual address that is mapped to my real, external address. – Jacko Jul 09 '10 at 18:38
  • Um, no. The name is the name to alias, and the addr_n are the aliases for that name. addr_n can be another alias, a local username, a local filename, a com- mand, an include file, or an external address. – Nathan Powell Jul 10 '10 at 00:16
  • *edit* I thought the admin account existed on that box and needed to send that mail to an external host. Right. Aliases won't do that. – Nathan Powell Jul 10 '10 at 00:24

If your company email server supports recipient delimiter (usually '+'), you can just enter, for example:

john+whatever001@company.tld

Recipient delimiter is supported by Gmail, Google Apps, and Postfix mail servers.
