Matthew,

Sendmail running on the FC box is what is handling the mail the root
address is root at yourmachinename. If you edit that line to something
like:

root yourname at youraddress, sendmail will lookup the mx record and send
the mail there. If this is your address at your ISP you should get it
there depending on firewalls etc.

Just my thoughts.
