Please check out this link: http://www.feep.net/sendmail/tutorial/intro/forward.html

Is bob a system user or a virtual user?

 

bob is a local user

 

Did you place the .forward file in the home directory of abc? Did you check permissions? Are there any errors in your mail log?

 

not forward mail to bob


cat /home/test/.forward

/test
bob

I guess this is the problem. What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /home/test/.forward

?

 

Thanks falko my problem has resolve

I check ls -la group and other user have a rights. that's mail not forward.

# ls -la /home/test/.forward
-rwxrwxrwx 1 test test 13 Jun 13 01:56 /home/test/.forward

when i set mail forward perfectly.

chmod 600 /home/test/.forward
# ls -la /home/test/.forward
-rw------- 1 test test 13 Jun 13 01:56 /home/test/.forward
