hi Everybody
I got it to work.
Silly mistake. It should be lowercase w.
But in the cyrus website and O'Reilly book, it is uppercase.
Quoting gui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
hi Everybody
I am trying to use .foward in user home directory for the bsd
vacation command.
I'm using cyrus-imapd-2.2.12 and Sendmail 8.13.3 on Freebsd 5.4.
I followed the instructions in
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/install-FAQ.html as well as the
O'Reilly Managing IMAP book,
and entered a define('|CYRUS_MAILER_FLAGS','[EMAIL PROTECTED]') line (later I
changed it to CYRUSV2_MAILER_FLAGS')
in the sendmail M4 file (xxx.mc in /etc/mail). But it didn't work.
The .forward file was not read at all.
|||I also tried changing the flags in
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/mailer/cyrusv2.m4, as well as in
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
but all also didn't work.
My Cyrus user is also inside /etc/passwd, i.e., has a unix account,
as specified by the IMAP book.
My Cyrus is running fine. And before converting to Cyrus, I was
using imap-uw and the .forward and vacation
commands worked fine too.
Can anybody help? Why isn't the instructions
|define('CYRUS_MAILER_FLAGS','[EMAIL PROTECTED]')| not working?
Thank you very much in anticipation.
Gui
p.s. I don't want to use Sieve.

Add a line define(`CYRUS_MAILER_FLAGS',[EMAIL PROTECTED]') before the
MAILER(cyrus) line. The w flag tells sendmail that users are all in
/etc/passwd so it's okay to read it and find *~/.forward*. If users
aren't in /etc/passwd, don't do this.

|MAILER(cyrus)|
On the line immediately following, add the statement:
|define('CYRUS_MAILER_FLAGS','[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
|The /w/ flag tells sendmail that users exist in //etc/passwd/ and
that it should look for a /~/.forward/ in the user's home directory.
