Re: .forward syntax

["Christopher W. Aiken" <cwaiken@telerama.com>]

If you are trying to forward all of your mail to
a differnet address then your .forward file should
just have a line(s) with the address as to where
they are to be forwarded to.  Ex:

ma@yahoo.com
pa@hotmail.com

This will forward your email to both of the above
addresses.  If you are forwarding your email to
"procmail" for filtering or pre-processing then
your .forward file should look something like:

"|IFS=' '&&exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -ptoY -f-||exit 75 #cwaiken"

Make sure you use all of the " and ' characters as above.
Make sure your path to procmail is OK (the above is for FreeBSD).
My login name is cwaiken.  Replace with your name.
Hope this helps....
