Hi Richard,

Yep is the answer your looking for !

Well you certainly can for Raq3's, dunno about your machine !  What is it 1/2/3/4/?
However, you need special permissions for it to work !  Procmail is a little picky on the Raq3 (dunno about others)

in the users dir:
    /home/sites/siteX/users/theuser    create your .forward file,
with these permissions:
    -rw-rw-r--   1 theuser   siteX   25 Jan 10 16:46 .forward

then (as root) from SSH/Telnet,
    chmod 2711 /home/sites/siteX/users/theuser
These seem (2711 - yes 4 digits - the "sticky bit" is required) to be the only permissions I can get it working with, whilst retaining full and normal use of the users web directory!

Have just tested it on a .forward file, and the big green light says go......

Hot off the press, just spent 24hours sorting this problem out with .procmailrc files myself ! <g>
