Whatever you do DON'T use 755, it opens up the user directory to all sort, and also if the user allows visitors to access their personal space  http://www.domain.com/~jbloggs/ , with a 755 that will nolonger work.

USE 2711 instead ( chmod 2711 /home/sites/siteX/users/smith ), it works with procmail and the web access is retained (and permissions are also mighty low !)


Alternativley, if you want to forward ALL mail (not specifying certain mails), a .forward file is simpler ! (in users dir with basic 644 permissions is fine and no chmod of the users dir is required either)
Just add the email addresses that want to receive the mail on seperate lines. (or a ", "  = comma and space/tab)
ie.  for .forward
joe@xxxxxxxxxx
john@xxxxxxxxx

If you want the user to KEEP acopy of the mail, just include their  ACCOUNT name
\smith
