The .forward file is only read by sendmail, which is what is used when mail comes in over your own network. My guess is that popclient just appends it messages to your mail spool. It doesn't use sendmail. You can simulate it, though, by running: procmail -o spoolfile .... other options cat spoolfile | formail -s procmail rm spoolfile -- John Goerzen | System administrator & owner, The Communications Custom programming | Centre and Complete Network (complete.org) [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Free Unix shell access, 316-367-8490 w/ your modem. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
