Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 - Email .forward problem



Liz-

when you make a .forward file make sure it is excutable and owned by
that user. Then after you place it in the users directory go into the
Siteadmin. Go to that users e-mail preferences and select save changes.

Somtimes that clears out some of the problems.
