Hi all,

I'm trying to get mail sent to admin@domain to forward to two separate addresses (on different servers).

We had
admin address1 address2
(where address[1-2] were full addresses including their respective domains and such.)

When that kept bouncing, we tried
admin address1
admin address2

Which also doesn't work. (After running newaliases.) So what is the correct way to have one alias forward to two people?

add a .forward file that looks like this in the home dir for the user:


address1@blah.com, address2@blah.com

According to the man file, the format is:

admin: address1, address2

"admin" isn't a system user, just an alias.

I can't believe I didn't think to use a comma. :blush:

BTW, what man page was this in? newaliases? I thought all it did was update the list of aliases and never would have thought have checked.

Thanks for your help. I'm ssh'ing in now. :)

The man page was aliases.

man aliases
