hey,
i have a .forward file,
with just the address i want my mail to go to,
but i want it to make a copy of the mail and keep it localy as well as forwarding it onto my other account,
how do i do this?
Just write in the other email address in the .forward?

Well, if you have procmail you could use that.. I'm not sure if the .forward is intelligent enough to figure it out.

And u are pretty thick as it is.. thus confusing matters.

the \username is an old sendmail thing ... Hm, not sure if it still applies to much mail software today.

You'd be surprised the number of places still
running old sendmail though >:|
