Re: [cobalt-users] Forwarding mail

[Rik Thomas <rikt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to edit the file as the owner most likey root.

So telnet in as admin, then do su -  and enter in the root password.

then pico /etc/aliases

make your change like

bob:	bob, bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

hit ctrl-x answer yes
then run newaliases

you are done.
