forwarding with sendmail?

[Coco]

Just a simple question about forwarding.

Is it possible to use a .forward file to forward mail automaticly but also leave a copy in the account? I've been using it to forward for awhile without problems. I can't figure out hwo to make it also leave a copy on the server though.

Sendmail allows you to put a \ character before an entry in a .forward file which tells it not to expand that entry if it's an alias.
So, put in .forward:
\abc #no further forwarding processing
xyz@dot.com #the same e-mail will be send to xyz@dot.com

Alright, sounds good, thanks.

Hi,

I have a similar question, if you can help I will be grateful.

I am using linux fedora and sendmail, local domain name is xyz.com.
I am using the linux sendmail server a a relay server, all my other servers sends the mail through these linux servers..
I mean there is no mailbox locally on linux servers for users..
And I want to redirect some of the email adresses to some other addresses.
for example:
when sendmail takes the mail for a recepient a@xyz.com, I want to rewrite it as a@xxx.com.

I tried this for other virtual domains it worked but for the local domain it does not work, what should I do? do you have any idea?

Kind Regards
