e-mail address redirect?

Hi all,

I want e-mail sent to postmaster@bartlett-family.net to go to chris@bartlett-family.net. I run sendmail. How is this possible? Please let me know. Thanks a million!!!

on sendmail, best bet is to filter it through procmail, or just set an alias in /etc/aliases, e.g.

postmaster: chris

Thx Acid,

Worked like a charm! I did, however, have to restart the sendmail daemon. I appreciate it!

yeah should have said that. You should have just been able to run newaliases to make sendmail refresh the table.

You are becoming the Sendmail guru aren't ya?

Pretty soon cjwsb, you'll be able to write your own book on setting it up. Hope you'll help me here pretty soon when I start asking

Cool

LOL... I dunno about an expert! Here's a good qoute for you, Chad... One that I have liked for a long time and use to describe myself:

I'm getting a little less dumb everyday!

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

toss it in /etc/alias or a .forward in the home directory
