Greetings,

I have a .forward file in /root/ with two email addresses in the followin format:

email1@nowhere.com, email2@nowhere.com

For some reason, any emails sent to root are not forwarded to thses two accounts.

I know that we can send mail from the server to the outside world, because if i go into pine, and send an email to email1@nowhere.com, it sends and i receive it.

Does anyone have any ideas?
 
I believe in the /etc/aliases file at the bottom of the file it has a line Person who should recieve root's mail... change it there to

root: Mail@somewhere.com

Hope that helps.
Vince
 
Thanks, i assume that can be a comma delimited list
