Define 'machine-generated mail' from your first post. Reason: if you are referreing to logs and warnings that normally are for root, an alias, root: <external-address>, entry in /etc/aliases will suffice.
I have a log file that I would like to send periodically to my Internet address, "abrahams@acm.org". Under Kmail (or any other externally-directed mailer), of course, I can specify the smtp server, username, and password for outgoing mail. But I can't use Kmail because I'm generating the mail internally and automatically. Aliasing won't solve the problem because postfix doesn't know how to send mail to abrahams@acm.org. I have to tell it somehow that any nonlocal address should be sent to smtp.comcast.net. Paul
