Hi Manuales:

By default, email directed to a user is placed in /var/mail'.

You can redirect mail with a '.forward' file in the user's ${HOME} directory or by defining the target in '/etc/mail/aliases'. If you change the 'aliases' file, run '/usr/sbin/newaliases' to create a runtime binary file for 'sendmail' to use.

To enable forwarding to outside your server, configure '/etc/mail/sendmail.cf'. Define the 'DS' (smart relay) macro. For example:

DSexchange.abc.org
