    I guess even if I redirect root's mail to another user & forward that to my
    account on the ISP's server, it wouldn't work for the same reason.

    It's mail from cron, periodic etc. that I want to redirect to my work email
    account, so i can tell if my server is still alive when I'm on holidays.
    This wasn't a problem until a few days ago when our ISP started blocking mail
    with a hostname attached.
