Hello, On an OpenBSD 6.1, I have default smtpd setup.
I placed a .forward file in root's home and am able to receive the emails on an external address. I then removed the .forward from root's home and then placed a .forward in the home directory of normal user account (say user01). Emails directly send to user01 are being forwarded to external email address as expected. Next I edited the /etc/mail/aliases file and uncomment the line with root's name in it and placed an entry like - root: user01 After saving the file, I ran newaliases to generate /etc/mail/aliases.db file. This should forward all email's destined for root to user01 and consequently to external email address as user01's home has a .forward file in it. This is not happening. Any email sent to root is being delivered to the mailbox of root and the smtpd logs in /var/log/maillog confirmed the same. If my understanding about how this should work incorrect? If not then what am I doing wrong? Thanks and Regards. -- Ajitabh Pandey http://ajitabhpandey.info/
