I have what is probably a common problem. I want to have a .forward such as the following: "|/xxx/yyy/zzz/bin/program" so that "program" will work like ``deliver'' to deliver my mail. Now, the problem is that my home directory is mounted by a hundred or so machines of different architectures. Right now I am doing something like this: "|/xxx/yyy/zzz/bin/runprogram" \weisen@daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov where ``daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov'' is the machine that I want mail to go to and runprogram is a /bin/sh script (hopefully guaranteed to run on all of the architectures) that does something like: if [ `hostname` != "daedalus.dcrt.nih.gov" ] then exit 0 fi program Now, this works o.k., but on daedalus the mail also gets delivered to my system mailbox. I guess what I need is a portable way to say ``bounce this mail to daedalus'' from the shell script so I can remove the \weisen@daedalus line from my .forward and have the mail forwarded to daedalus. I need to run ``program'' on daedalus so it will have access to daedalus' local disk. I've tried just pipeing it into sendmail, but this doesn't seem to preserve all of the headers. Ideally I'd want something that would result in just another Received: line and would leave the other headers the same. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks, Neil -- Neil I.
