There are no .forward files on the system at all. There is a system /etc/procmailrc file. It looks like this: SHELL=/usr/bin/sh LOGFILE=/tmp/procmail.log VERBOSE=yes LOGABSTRACT=all # Mark's stuff :0: * ^TO_mark !mark <snip of other rules> #send root's mail to root :0: * ^TO_.root !root # catchall rule for those that fall through the rest :0: * ^Subject:.* !mark I've looked through the logs and the rules do get triggered properly. The only ~/.procmailrc is in my (mark) home directory and it looks like this: VERBOSE=yes LOGABSTRACT=all MAILDIR=$HOME/mail PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log :0: * ^TO.fedora fedora <snip of other rules> I've been told that I shouldn't need the lock for delivery in the ~/.procmailrc and the /etc/procmailrc files, but without them the mail disappears (not a desired outcome, although it does cut down on spam <big grin>). When you mention aliases, do you mean the sendmail /etc/mail/aliases file or the system alias file? Here is /etc/mail/aliases # Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present. mailer-daemon: postmaster postmaster: root # General redirections for pseudo accounts. bin: root daemon: root adm: root lp: root sync: root shutdown: root halt: root mail: root news: root uucp: root operator: root games: root gopher: root ftp: root nobody: root apache: root named: root xfs: root gdm: root mailnull: root postgres: root squid: root rpcuser: root rpc: root ingres: root system: root toor: root manager: root dumper: root abuse: root newsadm: news newsadmin: news usenet: news ftpadm: ftp ftpadmin: ftp ftp-adm: ftp ftp-admin: ftp decode: root and here is the system alias file for root: alias cp='cp -i' alias l.='ls -d .[a-zA-Z]* --color=tty' alias ll='ls -l --color=tty' alias ls='ls --color=tty' alias mv='mv -i' alias rm='rm -i' alias vi='vim' alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde' I don't see anything in any of these files out of the ordinary. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
