Thanks people.

Just another couple of questions.  If I want this to go to an external 
email address, obviously I enter the address in the alias. But, how does 
it get there?
I assume I need sendmail running? and where do I configure the smtp-host 
(external) that sendmail should use?

Thanks heaps
