Re: [exim] New to exim

I sort of understand,

I basically just want to forward the mail to another user on the same mail server. So say I reside on that box and my address is blakeb@???. When the mail server receives it, I want blakeb to receive the mail, but I also want the mail then forwarded on to johnk@??? - johnk is a user that resides on the same mail server..

I tried:

blakeb: johnk
in
/etc/aliases

but that didnt work..

Thanks for your help,

Blake

I guess you probably want to edit /etc/aliases and add lines there, if
you're just using the standard Debian setup. If your machine receives
e-mail for example.co.uk, then adding the line:

matthew: someone@???

will redirect mail to matthew@??? on to someone@???.

You could also put:

matthew2: matthew

which would redirect matthew2@??? to matthew@???
(which in this scenario would then send off to someone@???).

Hope that helps.

Matthew
