In unix, there is a .foward file with a email address, i can't get it to foward, as it's been over 8 years since i even remember this.. anyone might know why it isn't fowarding .. thanks..
 
You can use the /etc/mail/aliases for local accounts, or /etc/mail/virtusertable for domains too..
 
hm, i c, i dont know unix that well, so the guy probably spell it wrong in the first place.. whats .qmail ? but it works in general ?
 
Have you tried it with the correct spelling? -> .forward like goldboyd suggested? Make sure you put it in your home directory by typing "cd ~" And check the file access, to be safe, you can make the file readable by anyone. "chmod +ar .forward"

good luck
 

.forward works for sendmail...may not work for a different mail server, such as qmail, as was stated above.

so, yes, in general it works....as most/many machines are running sendmail.
 
i'll have to check, it's not my account and I looked at it from far away, so it could have been spell wrong.. thanks
