.Nm forward
|
|
.Nd mail forwarding instructions
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm .forward
|
|
file contains a list of mail addresses or programs
|
|
that the user's mail should be redirected to. If the
|
|
file is not present, then no mail forwarding will be done.
|
|
Mail may also be forwarded as the standard input to a program
|
|
by prefixing the line
|
|
with the normal shell pipe symbol (|). If arguments
|
|
are to be passed to the command, then the entire line
|
|
should be enclosed in quotes. For security reasons, the
|
|
.Nm .forward
|
|
file must be owned by the user the mail is being sent to,
|
|
or by root, and the user's shell must be listed in
|
|
.Pa /etc/shells .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example, if a
|
|
.Nm .forward
|
|
file contained the following lines:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
nobody@FreeBSD.org
|
|
"|/usr/bin/vacation nobody"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Mail would be forwarded to
|
|
.Ar nobody@FreeBSD.org
|
|
and to the program
|
|
.Pa /usr/bin/vacation
|
|
with the single argument
|
|
.Ar nobody .
