Hmmm hmmm ... I don't get the original posting straight.
He said his $HOME is NFS mounted and he wants all mail sent to a single
host, so he gets mail in case NFS is down. This will never have worked
with $HOME/.forward and will not with $HOME/.qmail either as they simply
don't exist if NFS is down. And with NFS working you don't need any off
them, if delivering to $HOME.
I think the only true solution is to add his username to qmail/users with
a $HOME outside the NFS tree and create there a .qmail file which will
|forward $USER@canonicalhost
This has to be done on any `hostname` != canonicalhost
