Hi folks, new to the list, so let me know if I should

I have a RedHat 8.0 server running Sendmail. I am trying 
to forward 
mail addressed to local users and am having no luck.

If I create a .forward file in the users' home 
directories, nothing 
happens, all mail is still delivered locally. If I 
create an alias in 
/etc/aliases, I have a different problem. Basically, I 
put a line in 
/etc/aliases as follows:

localuser: 	[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem is that if I send mail to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it 
is 
forwarded to the local user user1, not to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any ideas?

Tom
Did you run "newaliases" (as root) after editing 
/etc/aliases?

Dave
Yup, thanks for checking, though...
