my .forward don't work,what can I do?

2001-08-09 Thread qmail

I tested the qmail delivery by:
echo to: user | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

then I find a queue in ~user/Maildir/new/

when I add a .forward file under ~user with content:
someone@localhost

and do the delivery test again :
echo to: user | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

it still have a queue inside ~user/Maildir/new

and I go to ~someone/Maildir/new, there are nothing.

is it mean that my dot-forward don't work?

how can I check the what happen to dot-forward package, any error
message it will generate after make setup check?
or how to use the ./instcheck ?

Thanks a lot~

 ...yes.. you are right, I forgotten to see the dot-qmail now I add
 this line in .qmail

 |dot-forward .forward
 ./Maildir/

U... try this in .qmail:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
./Maildir/

like I stated in the first e-mail.

 Great, it works, I forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED] la, but what
 problem I have in setup .forward?  I don't have any error message I
 still can't forward the message by dot-forward

What do your logs say? I have tried and persisted to point out that
you don't need .forward, but since you obviously aren't taking the
hint, tail -f /var/log/qmail/send/current, send a test message, and
tell us what it says.

 in my .qmail file:
 
 |dot-forward .forward
 ./Maildir/

Just for the fun of it, try putting /var/qmail/bin/dot-forward.

Oh, what the hell. While you're at it, ls -l
/var/qmail/bin/dot-forward and give us the output.

Dear Brett,

ls -l /var/qmail/bin/dot-forward:
-rwxr-xr-x1 root root29604 Aug  9 18:34
/var/qmail/bin/dot-forward*
