I assume that when you mean forwarding you are setting up john as an alias
of sales. I have an email of admin, that forwards to will and david (admin:
will,david in the /etc/aliases file). When I send an email to admin this is
the log:
2013-09-26 17:33:07 1VPL3T-0004WU-2z <= root@??? U=root P=local
S=493
2013-09-26 17:33:08 1VPL3T-0004WU-2z => will@??? <admin@???>
R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [173.194.74.27]

2013-09-26 17:33:08 1VPL3T-0004WU-2z -> david@??? <admin@???>

How do you have your aliases set up?
