Mail Wizards: I'm running smail 3.1.25 on RS/6000s and am very happy with it. We have a small number of high end servers where all user accounts reside. We also have a small machine that is our news and mail front end. All user accounts are NFS mounted everywhere. Everyone has a .forward in their account pointing to their home machine. This is how we deal with mail getting routed to the right place. When any of the big servers goes down, its user accounts (and their corresponding .forward files) disappear. Any mail supposedly delivered to the server now stays on the front end machine since there is no .forward to reroute it. Users don't log on to the front end machine. Is there an easy way to get mail re-rerouted once it has been delivered to /usr/spool/mail/sol_user on the front end? Thanks! -Bob -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bob Wise | INET:622-1322 | MCIMail:rmwise | Pager:719-577-1928 | | Unix Consultant |-----------------------------------------------------| | Consultant to MCI | Phone:719-592-1322 | Internet:rmwise@apdev.mci.com |
