Hello All

How do i make courier forward a copy of all my mail to another adress? It's very important that it is a copy, i still need to keep a local copy.

Thank You

René

If you use an alias, make sure your own username is part of the alias

For instance, let's say your username is rene, and you want to forward your mail to ren@yahoo.com

alias looks as follows:

rene: rene, ren@yahoo.com

You put rene in there twice, because aliases are the first thing checked for incoming email, so your real rene account will never get the mail. So you add your real account, and now the alias sends mail to both re@yourdomain.com and ren@yahoo.com

If you do not want to use an alias, I believe you do the same thing in your $HOME/.courier file, it would contain:

rene ren@yahoo.com

Or even this would probably work if the .courier file is in the proper place with a Maildir:

./Maildir ren@yahoo.com

Hope this helps,
