It will tell you as an afterthought to its discussion of aliases that you can do per user aliasing with .forward. There is also a lot it doesn't tell you. Basically, just use a comma separated list of addresses, much as you would use in aliases. There is no 'name:' preceding the list though, in .forward. The .forward probably has to be owned by the user whose mail is being forwarded. The man pages for vacation give an example of its use. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W. Rickert, Computer Science Northern Illinois Univ.
