I have set up postfix to relay proxmox messages through my gmail account and used aliases to forward all my root email to an outside address. When using sendmail command the email can be seen in the sent folder of gmail with the To: field empty and Bcc: is my outside address. When using mail -s the email is seen in gmail sent folder with the To: field as the original root email and Bcc: is my outside address.
Shouldn't my forwarding address replace [email protected] in the To: field instead of Bcc: and stop sending to [email protected] altogether?
Test commands for root email
# echo -e "Subject:Hello World \n\n Testing email\n" | sendmail root # echo "testing" | mail -s "test message" root Log File
