If you're trying to set this up to forward posts to Mailman to mail2forum, it won't work. The .forward file is like an alias file for a local mail recipient. I.e. an actual local user who receives mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] can create a file named .forward in his/her home directory, and that file can contain addresses or pipes to which to deliver the mail instead of delivering it to the user's local mailbox. In the Mailman case, incoming mail is already piped to Mailman via MTA aliases (or some other MTA mechanism), and there is no local mailbox to which it would be delivered, thus no home directory in which to put a .forward file. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
