Hi there,
I'm using a 3B2 running SVR3.1. How do I forward mail from
this machine to another. Basically, I want to forward all
the mail that I receive on the 3B2 to another machine.
I remember one way of doing it is to have an entry in /usr/mail/<user> :
user@<host>
Or can I use a .forward file the way it works with ucbmail?

If you are running the stock sysV mailer you need to replace your mailbox (/usr/mail/userid) with a file that says: Forward to new!address Some versions allow you to use "mail -F new!address" to create this entry. Otherwise, send yourself a dummy message to create the mailbox file so you can edit it without special permissions. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us

Simply make this entry in the /usr/mail/login_id file. Forward to machine!login_id Then to ensure proper ownership: # chown login_id login_id # chgrp mail login_id # chmod 662 login_id

The entry I have in /usr/mail/pjh on the "other" 3B2 is
Forward to mccc!pjh
and that works.
Do you have a mailer on your 3B2 that understands user@some.site.domain??
