Subject: [EXIM] Question about aliasfile/forwardfile
Hello,

We have been running Exim here internally for a couple of months now with precious few problems. Recently, however, we had a problem that I can't seem to find covered in the spec.

We have an alias for all System Administrators called sysadm. One of our group was moving offices and subsequently shutdown his workstation. This caused all e-mail sent to the sysadm alias to be deferred, since Exim could no longer read his .forward file. When I booted his system again, the messages were delivered.

So, my question, is there a setting to have the message delivered to the other recipients while it is deferred for only the "offending" user?

Thank you,
