See aliases(5). > > i had a .forward file seto to send it to root@enterprise ( If it's literally 'root@enterprise', you might want to make sure that 'enterprise' resolves to a real host somewhere that accpts mail, and that you have MX or A records appropriately set up. ) A .forward file would only forward mail for that one user. From /etc/aliases, you could handle mail for all users, if neccessary. This sounds more remote mail that not getting delivered. -- Brian Reichert 55 Crystal Ave. #286 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1725 USA BSD admin/developer at large
