On a system that uses MMDF, how does a user arrange to have his mail
forwarded to another account (possibly on another machine)? Back in
the Good Old Days, we had a 4.2BSD system with sendmail, and a .forward
file in a user's home directory served this purpose admirably. As far
as I can figure out, MMDF requires that a global system alias file be
modified *each* time *any* user wants to start or stop forwarding email.
Is this correct? (I hope not, because if so, the local VMS system
admininstrator wins a brownie point in favor of his otherwise ugly
email software. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
