1a. Edit the /etc/aliases file. An alias line is something like: fubar: fubar@suse.com 1b. run the newaliases command. 2. If you have an alias, it takes precedence over the .forward. Note that majordomo mailing lists make extensive use of the aliases file. For instance: owner-list: jerry@blu.org list-owner: owner-list list-approvals: owner-list On 7 Mar 00, at 14:05, Ryan Yagatich wrote:

Make an entry in /etc/aliases like: alias fakeuser realuser And run `newaliases' afterwards.
part two: Woula an e-mail alias be able to take advantage of the .forward file?
Since an alias (fakeuser) has no home directory, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Now, if a valid user (realuser) has a .forward file (/home/realuser/.forward), then all mail sent to fakeuser goes to whomever is in the .forward file. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x121 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
