Shell in and check your /etc/aliases file for a forward from admin to your
outside address. It should look like something below.

=-=-=-=-=

# Person who should get root's mail
root:           admin

admin:  you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

=-=-=-=-=
If it's not in there, add it. That's a TAB between the colon and address.
Then you run "newaliases" without the quotes. You can try and reset it
through the GUI if you feel more comfortable that way. The above is easiest
for me because I usually have a shell open anyway.

HTH,
