 |
|
What I'm trying to do here is basically forward all mail addressed to root on my Desktop system to my user account on my mail server. I have tried creating a procmail recipe in root's home directory as follows:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin
DEFAULT=/root/.maildir/
MAILDIR=/root/.maildir
#PROCMAILDIR=$HOME/.procmail
#LOGFILE=$PROCMAILDIR/procmail.log
#LOCKEXT=$PROCMAILDIR/mail.lock
VERBOSE=no
LOGABSTRACT=no
:0
*
! myuseraccount@myserver.org |
I specify the DEFAULT so that I can catch mails that aren't forwarding to the mail account on my mail server. This recipe still has mail going into the .maildir folder in root's home. At one point it was putting mail /.maildir/new (root directory). How that was happening I still don't know.
Is there a way to specify in /etc/mail/aliases an account on a different computer? Like:
root: myuseraccount@myserver.org |
