[cobalt-users] How can I set up email forwarding so the forwarding address and the user both get a copy of the email?

["Chan YS" <chan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I got this solution for the following problems, but its no very clear to me
on how should I go about doing it, especially the 'user directory' portion.

How can I set up email forwarding so the forwarding address and the user
both get a copy of the email?

One way to do this is to create a ".forward" file in the directory for a
user. Follow these steps:

Telnet to the server as admin and su to root. (This part I dont have any
problems)

cd into the user directory that the file is going to be created under. (I
have no idea which directory or path should I type for this)

Create a file called .forward The contents should be similar to the
following: (I think pico should help)
\user1@xxxxxxxxxx, user2@xxxxxxxxxx
The backslash says to forward the mail to the user ignoring the forward file
or any other aliases. So it would get put in the user's normal mailbox and
another copy forwarded to the other host.

Restart sendmail and the email forwarding should work.



Thank for your kind attention.
