Mail forward problem

I have set-up a mail forward on the catchall address fro a domain.

The problem is that the email doesn't get forwarded.

If I set it to keep copy the copy is kept in inbox but not forwarded and I can't see why.

There are no entries in the error or warning logs for the message bnut the output of info is:

Any ideas.

P.s on Mandrake 10.2 using perfect setup

 

where is this file?

I have looked in /home/www/web19/user/XXX.co.uk/ and there is only index.html

Thanks in advance

 

I have just had a look and this file and it does not exist. this would appear to be the problem I think.

Any suggestions?

 

What's the output of

Code:

grep [I]<username>[/I] /etc/passwd

?

 

grep xxxxxxxxx /etc/passwd
xxxxxxxxx:x:10020:10019:xxxxxxxxx:/home/www/web19:/bin/bash
xxxxxxxxx:x:10023:10019:Bryan Haworth:/home/www/web19/user/xxxxxxxxx:/bin/bash

xxxxxxxxx.co.ukgary:x:10022:10019:Gary Bentley:/home/www/web19/user/xxxxxxxxx:/dev/null

 

You have multiple users with the homedir /home/www/web19/user/xxxxxxxxx? How does that come?

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /home/www/web19/user/xxxxxxxxx

?

I see no .forward file in that directory. Is xxxxxxxxx the site admin or a "normal" user?

 

site admin

 

Ok, what's in /home/www/web19/.forward?
