Listmates, Sandy,
Where do I tell postfix to deliver mail for a user to localhost and deliver a copy to user@machine2.com? It has to be easy, -- I hope.
Deliver it locally, and then use NFS so that both machines can read the incoming mail spool. And then set up a POP (Post Office Protocol) server, which will coerce them into removing their messages from the mail machine (advise them to set up their mail agent to use the "remove mail from server" option).
Why not just imap?
Guys? Please have a look at the first quoted line. It was supposed to be "simple". Installing and maintaining additional unnecessary services, wenn one config line in an already running service is sufficient, seems horribly inefficient.
There's not a heck of a lot more to setting up an imap server than pop.
I agree, most of the time you will use an imap server anyway when you want to provide pop3, since most imap servers are able to do both. But why the heck would I install another service just to forward a second copy of a mail. This is like installing vmware in order to kick up a windows guest host so that you can open notepad.exe to write "Hello World!". (^-^) It would work, but it's just not efficient to do. You already have a mailserver running, so just tell him to do the job. -- Sandy List replies only please!
