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
