Hi Everyone,

I am an intermediate to Unix.I want to forward the incoming messages for my Unix Account 'pdileep' to another mail account 'pdileep@ncmail.com'.
I tried out .forward option,but the forwarded message was not there in my Unix Account.

My requirement is like,i want to forward the incoming mail to another account in a different domain at the same time retain the copy of the forwarded message in my Unix mail account itself.

Can anybody provide a solution for this?Your help is appreciated.

Hi,
If you have procmail try this on your .procmailrc will send a copy to notheraccount@domain.xxx hopefully!

The second colon is erroneous, and should be omitted. (It won't do anything, except produce "cannot deduce lock file" errors in the log.)

.forward is the traditional Sendmail mechanism but if your MTA is Exim, for example, it (optionally) uses a different system. Can you find out which mail server your system is running?

In exim, "\" means local delivery, so if you use exim, your .forward should look like:

Great !It's working.Thanks a lot for your time and solution

How come i am able to know,which MailServer is running.Since there is no local mailserver running and am routing my outgoing/incoming mails through the Relay Exchange Server.


Thanks

Anyway,this is working my friend.I tried it and seems a great option.
Thanks for your comments
