I'm using smartd to monitor my HD, and want it to send an email

of course is rejected as invalid at the receiving host.
How do I get mail to use my *real* address?
Thanks

/etc/aliases
on the bottom of the file their is typically an example for roots mail
going to marc. Uncomment that line, substitute your local account name
or ISP account name for that.
run
newaliases
run logwatch
If you have any issues after this check your log files, but this should
do the trick in most cases.
