Hi.
>From your mail I understand that your little-puny-users has a unique
user name for each one of them on that HP-Uke machine.
All that has to be done is that each user will have in his home dir a
file called ".forward" (AKA. "/home/username/.forward" and all should be
written there is their real mail address, like: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
(remove the '"').
This file ***MUST*** be in their ownership and have write permission
just for themselves and for the rest of the users, read permission.
(rw-r--r--) and this is for security reasons. (the read permission is
for the "sendmail" daemon to have read permission to this file.)
try it..
