I have two questions about forward files (which I could always
test myself, but I don't want to interfer with an existing system).
sendmail (at least 8.7.5) allows for multiple names for forward files per
person.
We allow the names
forward.txt
and .forward
(this is so that people mounting their "home" directories on our imap host
and major smtp switch from DOS can manipulate their forwarding. The
continuation of .forward is because many had previously been set up
from Unix).
will specificing
userforward:
driver = forwardfile
no_verify
check_ancestor
file = forward.txt:.forward
# filter
work?
Second question
sendmail forwarding appears to do fine if the lines in the .forward file
are terminated with CR/LF instead of just LF. (Again, this is useful
for the people who play with their .forward files from DOS). Will
exim be able to cope?
