I'm running IRIX 3.3.1 on a Silicon Graphics Personal Iris. I've noticed a problem recently with sendmail and a users .forward file. It appears that sendmail (or whoever it is that delivers the local mail) doesn't always use the .forward file. When mail is sent from a remote system via an alias on that remote system (user@remote), the email when it arrives on my system is always put into the /usr/mail/user mail file instead of being forwarded. The .forward is used when mail is sent to user@mysite (or mysite!user). Has anyone see this before? Is there a workaround? The mail header of one of these nonforwarded email messages is: > From root@ki2 Tue Jan 1 12:46:15 1991 > Received: from ki2 by ki via UUCP (5.52/890607.SGI) > (for jpuffer) id AA16489; Tue, 1 Jan 91 12:46:15 EST > From: root@ki2 > Received: by ki2 (AIX 1.3/890607.SGI) > (for ki!jpuffer) id AA25933; Tue, 1 Jan 91 12:39:54 -0500 > Date: Tue, 1 Jan 91 12:39:54 -0500 > Message-Id: <9101011739.AA25933@ki2> > To: joe@ki2 > Subject: sample email > Status: RO -- ################## Skinny Dippers Have Less Stress ################## # CompuServe: >INTERNET:uunet.UU.NET!ki!dwatts Dan Watts # # UUCP : ...!{uunet | wgc386}!ki!dwatts Ki Research, Inc. # ############### New Dimensions In Network Connectivity ##############
