I have just created a .forward file in my home directory, but actually
no forwarding is done. Any clue about that?
Typically a permissions problem: the directory or the .forward file
itself have wrong permissions set.
The permissions are:
drwx------ 103 psmith psmith 4096 Jan 7 16:49 psmith
-rw-rw-r-- 1 psmith psmith 18 Jan 7 14:57 .forward
Are they appropriate?
Your homedir must have *at least* x for others(all?), else processes not
owned by you (ie, mailer) can't even read your .forward file.
