Question Redirect / forward mail to another user from specific address.


Hello,

I wish to intercept/forward emails that is sent to one user on multi user mail server.I only want email from one specific address or group,to be redirected and it will be redirected to another user on same server.

The email should not arrive in original users inbox.

".forward" file can not give me such solution,because ".forward" file will forward all mails to another specific mail id,which i don't want. I want only specific users mails onto another local user.

Is this possible in sendmail?

Anybody have clear idea of "virtusetable" & "aliases" file?

Server runs sendmail only.

Shall "procmail" give us any solution?


Advanced Thanks,
Nishith Vyas
