I am trying to forward =>mail addressed to local users and am having no luck. => =>If I create a .forward file in the users' home directories, nothing =>happens, all mail is still delivered locally. If I create an alias in =>/etc/aliases, I have a different problem. Basically, I put a line in =>/etc/aliases as follows: => =>localuser: user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx => =>The problem is that if I send mail to localuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx it is =>forwarded to the local user user1, not to user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx => =>Any ideas? => =>Tom Make sure the permission of the .forward file is user only. It's a security violation to have people access a .forward file. The clues are in your maillog file. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
