We have unix faxing software that e-mails the fax results to our users unix mail. We want to forward this e-mail to their desktop internet mail.
Originally we setup .forward files in each users id to eliminate unwanted unix mail from the fax. Now I want to modify the forward.
We are on digital unix 4.0D. What is the format of the .forward file (per user) that I have to use to get this to work?
I tried just the internet address, the | internet address and mailx internet address and | mailx internet address.
Am I missing something here or in another area ??
thanks

Hey,
This is probably going to sound like an immensely stupid and dull question, but can someone please tell me whether the forward slash on the web address (http://) signifies that it is running on UNIX?

var1 and var2 both contain slashes, but sed gives error if there is a slash in var1 or var2. sed is used here to replace var1 with var2.

MAILADDR(7) Linux User's Manual MAILADDR(7)
NAME
mailaddr - mail addressing description
DESCRIPTION
This manual page gives a brief introduction to SMTP mail addresses, as used on the Internet. These addresses are in the general format
user@domain
where a domain is a hierarchical dot separated list of subdomains. For example, the addresses
eric@monet.berkeley.edu
Eric Allman <eric@monet.berkeley.edu>
eric@monet.berkeley.edu (Eric Allman)
are valid forms of the same address.
The domain part (``monet.berkeley.edu'') may be the name of an internet host, or it may be a logical mail address. The domain part is not
case sensitive.
The local part (``eric'') is often a user name, but its meaning is defined by the local software. It can be case sensitive, but usually
isn't. If you see a local-part that looks like garbage, it is usually because of a gateway between an internal e-mail system and the net,
here are some examples:
"surname/admd=telemail/c=us/o=hp/prmd=hp"@some.where USER%SOMETHING@some.where machine!machine!name@some.where
I2461572@some.where
(These are, respectively, an X.400 gateway, a gateway to an arbitrary inernal mail system that lacks proper internet support, an UUCP gate-
way, and the last one is just boring username policy.)
The real-name part (``Eric Allman'') can either be placed first, outside <>, or last, inside (). (Strictly speaking the two aren't the
same, but the difference is outside the scope of this page.) The name may have to be quoted using "" if it contains certain characters,
most commonly ``.'':
"Eric P. Allman" <eric@monet.berkeley.edu>
Abbreviation.
Many mail systems let users abbreviate the domain name. For instance, users at berkeley.edu may get away with ``eric@monet'' to send mail
to Eric Allman. This behavior is deprecated.
Route-addrs.
Under some circumstances it may be necessary to route a message through several hosts to get it to the final destination. Normally this
happens automatically and invisibly, but sometimes not, particularly with old and broken software. Addresses which show these relays are
termed ``route-addrs.'' These use the syntax:
<@hosta,@hostb:user@hostc>
This specifies that the message should be sent to hosta, from there to hostb, and finally to hostc. Some hosts disregard route-addrs and
send directly to hostc.
Route-addrs occur frequently on return addresses, since these are generally augmented by the software at each host. It is generally possi-
ble to ignore all but the ``user@hostc'' part of the address to determine the actual sender.
Postmaster.
Every site is required to have a user or user alias designated ``postmaster'' to which problems with the mail system may be addressed. The
``postmaster'' address is not case sensitive.
