A) create the .forward file in the users home directory with the new email address in it. It is possible that ownership of the .forward is important. It is certain that sendmail and/or procmail must be able to read the .forward file, so permissions may need to be checked. B) Make an entry in the /etc/aliases file for that user, then run 'newaliases' for the change to take affect. Either of those 2 ways works. A) can be done by the user, B) must be done by root. Either file can have one or many new addresses to forward to. Dovecot is a server and has no impact on forwarding. It provides for reading mail via pop or imap from the server. For more information see "man aliases". HTH Jeff > Daniel Vogel > exed@xxxxxxxxxxx > > Computer Engineering. > > Concepcion-Chile > Siempre sale el sol despues de la tormenta.
