Hi all

I have a problem in my email. I have RAQ4. I made a mailing list to forward the one incomming email to several person. But when ever I get the message the mailing list is send forward this message 20 time, I mean that on each message I get the 20 copies of this mail.

How do I control it. Any help will be appreciated.

One more thing isn't there any way to forward the mail more then one person.

To forward mail to more than one person, in the /users/user/ directory, make a file called .forward and put the email addresses that you want the mail forwarded to. Separate them with a space, I believe.

You can't do it from the controlpanel

1. create a file called .forward
2. put the following text in it:
\sales@wbws.net, info@wbws.net

(first email adress being the email address that the email is originally addressed to and the second email address is the email you also want to send a copy of each received email to

Save it and upload it with FTP into the USER directory
In this case the email address is sales so the username is also sales. So put the .forward in /users/sales/web

Now all email send to sales will also be cc-ed to info

The beauty of it is that the customer does not need telnet/SSH access. He can create, update and upload the files himself just like any other file
