Two months ago we were (finally:-) connected to the "rest of the world". We're running a number of SysV machines here, interconnected by TCP/IP and OSLAN (from ICL). Up till then we also could not forward our mail. I got smail, built it on the machines, and since then everything I always wanted to do was possible. (I tried sendmail first, but ran into too many problems porting it.) Thus: get smail up and running.

I am using Amdahl's unix, UTS, which is I gather a sys V
(at least I miss a lot of BSD stuff!).
I use the ~/.forward file to point to my elm filter rules
and it works fine.
Have you actually tried using the ~/.forward file?

This works with some mail implementations.
Edit the file /usr/mail/{username}. Put this line in, word for word:
Forward to {address}
