- I think so: you normally receive mail at machine A, but want to also
- receive mail on machine B as a different account, but without simply
- forwarding the machine A mail.

- No, you simply don't understand .forward files.

- >Is there a way to do this with elm?
-
- No, but you can do it with your .forward file on the machine where the
- mail is originally received. Use something like:
-
- \anibal, anibal2@machineB
-
- This delivers mail to your account on this machine (note the backslash
- to suppress recursive interpretation of the .forward file) as well as
- to account anibal2 on machineB. This is, of course, assuming that your
- MTA uses .forward files.
