Task:
14. Setup your individual user accounts to automatically forward all email sent
to the local user to go to the users' preferred email address. Do not
accomplish this using an alias (that's a hint).
Unsuccessful attempts:
Forwarding using a .forward file in each user's home directory.
The forwarding did not work with the .forward file alone.
Nor did adding a line to /etc/shells
/SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/
make .forward work
What worked:
Putting a .procmailrc file in each user's account did work.
I su ed to root, put a .procmailrc file in each home directory,
chown and chgrpso that it would belong to each team member and
entered each of their forwarding addresses in their own file.
HOWEVER, I also had to make entries to the .procmailrc file for all the group
aliases too, otherwise those would still go to user@air.nesser.com
