If this file is not empty, all recipients to users at either "localhost" (the literal string) or the canonical host name (from /etc/mailname) are remapped to this address. This is provided to allow local daemons to be able to send email to "somebody@localhost" and have it go somewhere sensible instead of being bounced by your relay host. To send to multiple addresses, put them all on one line separated by a comma. |

adminaddr If this file is not empty, all recipients to users at either "localhost" (the literal string) or the canonical host name (from /etc/mailname) are remapped to this address. This is provided to allow local daemons to be able to send email to "somebody@localhost" and have it go somewhere sensible instead of being bounced by your relay host. To send to multiple addresses, put them all on one line separated by a comma.
So far this works for mails to root@localhost. But as soon as the target is just "root", then it does not work any more. :-(
The original intend of this program has been reached, I can send to my external mail address without problems.
Example:
echo 'This is a test!' | mail -s 'This is a subject' You@YourExternalMail.org
