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. Steve... ".forward" is a SendMailism as far as I know. Use ".maildelivery" and pipe the message to "resend" to forward mail. Latter version of MMDF support .forward, but I have heard there are problems.... Like so: # # mmdf maildelivery # * - pipe A /usr/local/resend cranor@louie.udel.edu Chuck -- Chuck Cranor E-Mail: chuck@maria.wustl.edu / cranor@udel.edu here: 8069 Valcour Ave, Apt 202, St. Louis MO 63123 home: 104 Ashley Court, Greenville DE, 19807
