sendmail ignoring .forward? - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Friday, 3 January 2014

Ignore the previous cron messages. It seems that the mail is going into
space because sendmail is not respecting the .forward in my home directory.

/home/sdstern/.forward contains

\root(a)sterndata.com

which is a valid, external email account

but mail sent to "sdstern" goes to &quot;sdstern(a)sterndata.com&quot;, which is
another valid external email account.  I found all my missing cron mail
there.

$ ll .forward
-rw-------. 1 sdstern sdstern 21 Jan  3 10:51 .forward

Apparently, this has been going on since December 13.
