Re: $EXT value clarification, virtual domain question

2001-05-07 Thread Paul Gregg
(this should all be on one line) Here $LOCAL is "foobar-co-uk-user1", so we need sed to get rid of the "virtual user". If you use alias, you'll probably have to remove something else. Or | forward "$EXT2"@foobar.com Or | if U=`echo "$EXT2"@foobar.com`; then forward "$U"; fi Hope this helps, Paul Gregg.
