[Tfug] Local mail forwarding?

[Slack]

Would that allow me to receive all the Cron messages? Don't those get 
addressed to root@<localdomain.com> or whichever user... Ok, I need more help 
than I thought. :) Setting up Sendmail or Postfix to relay should be easy 
enough (I at least get the concept), but what about setting the systems up so 
that I can get mail from cron, etc... Stuff that would be delivered to a 
local spool? Can ya tell mail is still pretty green territory for me? :) 
Thanks for the help and patience. :)
