[SuSE Linux] Sendmail
Hi Is the following possible and how ? Can I forward a persons e-mail without reading or opening it to his new address. Or can I forward a persons e-mail to a new address if his account is deleted.

Hi Nardus! I don't know if this is possible with a deleted account. But is possible with the old account. In the old account you create a file named .forward in the home directory and in this file you put the new email address. You can do this: # echo 'newaddress@anywhere' > .forward best regards Henrique - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hello, I don't know if this is a sendmail thing or a procmail thing. I also don't know if this is part of the standard distribution or if this is something that was custom coded in. But I work at an ISP and one option users have is having a .redirect file. It is very similar to the .forward file you describe. Have you ever heard of this, or is this really unique to where I work? I'm just trying to sniff out if this person really did source code changes or not.

With sendmail? If the account is deleted, just add the person to your /etc/aliases name: new@address and run newaliases. Hope this helps. -Torvald - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I tried that in Suse 5.1 and sendmail wouldn't accept the "@" denoting an internet address (trying to set it up where all my email aliases would be sent to my local address, which I did get to work by leaving off the internet portion of my address). So now all my email is delivered locally and can be picked up there by any of the pc's that has lan access to my linux box:-)
Hope this helps.

If the user still has an account on the machine, create a file called .forward in the user's home directory. The .forward file only contains the user's new address. Sendmail will automatically forward the e-mail to the new address. Hope this helps.

Procmail will do this.
