I am trying to work in a crazy world where my workstation is a SUN and my mailserver is a MIPs.
The problem - I cant get the mail system to look at the .forward file.
I assume that it would be looked at by the mail software on the MIPs server.
Anybody got ideas or advice?
Thanks in advance.

Our MIPS (MIPS RC3350 - Unix System V Release 3 / RISC/os 4.52A) supports
"forward" via a command line option:

     -Fpersons
        entered into an empty mailbox, causes all incoming mail
        to be forwarded to persons.

and

     To forward all of one's mail to systema!user enter:

        mail -Fsystema!user

The FMP (Fine Man Page :^) doesn't mention .forward at all.  The one for
our SUN does ...

Hope it helps (tm).
