- I need help, please. I have an account I am trying to set up as a mail server
- for an application. I need to have a .forward file which invokes a program.
- I've done this before but I just can't get it to work. What is even more
- frustrating is that we have a FAX account which works flawlessly.
-
- Environment: SPARCstation 2 which will have the server account. 690 mail
- server. SunOS 4.1.2. Vanilla Sun sendmail.
-
- I alias the account on the 690 as:
-
- foo: foo@ss2
-
- I set up the .forward file in the home directory of foo:
- "| /usr/bin/cat >/home/foo/dolt.file"
-
- Permissions on dolt.file are 666.
-
- But I don't see nuttin in dolt.file. What's wrong with this picture???
-
- Help to e-mail below please!!!!
