The problem is that we have a linux server in our office, being used as a
mail / samba / ftp / etc. server and we connect to the Internet through
dialup. Our main mailserver for our domain is on the internet with seperate
pop3 accounts for all the users.
When a user goes out of office, i.e. out of station, I simply remove his
mail download command from the fetchmailrc file. So the user can check his
mails directly from the web. but the internal mails are distributed
internally, so we want these internal mails for the user to be sent to the
mail server on the Internet.
Currently what i am doing is that I am forwarding the mails of this person
to a yahoo account and redirecting the yahoo account to his mail ID back,
which would send the mails to our main mail server.
Is this possible? I remember there was a similar message on LIH some months
back by some person from goa, but I missed that message which I searched
from the LIH archives. Now I cant find it. He had exactly the same problem.
Any ideas?

LIH is all for free speech. But it was created for a purpose - to help
people discuss issues about installing and running Linux. If your
messages are counterproductive to this purpose, your privileges to
