Re: .forward not working
Uhm, isn't smail finicky about the permissions on a .forward file? If it does not trust the file, it will not obey it. I am giving .sigs a break this month George Bonser [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: .forward not working
I'm using sendmail *duck*. And it seems to work sorta I think my problem is one with procmail and slocal. Although I havent played much with getting it to forward to another address, that was a problem from a user that I couldn't figure out.

It seems that Smail can't execute a program Perhaps you have a space after the pipe? I think smail doesn't ignore those spaces (though sendmail does). -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ouh, I thougt it was a misconfiguration by me on my machine in the offices. Reading this it doesn't seem to be. :-( I came across the same problem. .forward is working fine as long as there are only some email addresses inside. It seems that Smail can't execute a program at this point. (maybe procmail can't be called as 'nobody') Seems I have to investigate my configuration on finlandia with the one on troi Regards Joey -- / Martin Schulze * Debian GNU/Linux Developer * [EMAIL PROTECTED] / / http://www.debian.org/ http://home.pages.de/~joey/
Re: .forward not working
I think it needs to be world-readable. I was playing with it last week and found that the smail log will show when a program is invoked. That helped me get from step n to n+1.

.forward not working
Does anyone have any idea why .forward would not forward or pipe to a program (ie procmail). It seems like it is not even being looked at.
