We are looking for a way of stopping a .forward file forwarding with a
switch in the username. Under VMS we can mail to _username, and the
message gets put into that person's mailbox regardless of what forwarding
has been set up. Sendmail has a "/" for a similar purpose, but it only
works for mail from the same system. If I want all mail to dan at kersnazzle
to be forwarded to dan at hupfoop and all mail to /dan at kersnazzle to stay at
kersnazzle, then its too bad because /dan is not a valid address for an
external user.
Has anyone come across a way of getting around this? It is possible to keep
two copies of everything by having the kersnazzle .forward containing
dan at hupfoop
/dan
but this is exceptionally messy.
Al ideas gratfully received - usual arrangement, email to me to save
bandwidth and I'll summarise.
Thanks,
