If mail is being delivered to "user1@domain.com" and you put this in the forward file: user1@domain.com user2@otherdomain.com user3@yetanotherdomain.com Does that automatically dump a copy of the email into the users' mail file as well as forward a copy of it off to the other two people, or does that create a separate email message that's sent back through the system again? Thus reprocessing the .forward file and all that again. I'm understanding what you're saying, but with as many users as we have, I don't want to make a royal mess of this. :) At 07:54 PM 2/22/02 +0000, Danny Horne wrote: >If you're using Sendmail create a .forward file in user1's home directory & >enter all three email addresses on seperate lines, that should do it without >causing a loop.
