Hi all,
I want my fBSD machine to forward mail for root and fred to another,
internet address.
I added the following to /etc/mail/aliases

root:	user@domain.tld,root
fred:	user@domain.tld,fred

and it seems to work fine.  Mail goes to the root and fred mailboxes as well
as the internet address.

My question is: is this the best way to do it?

tia,
Scott
