sendmail forward copy to another mailbox


We're using sendmail with ldap routing. We've setup a new mailstore which some of our users are piloting.

We've been asked to configure sendmail to forward a copy of pilot users emails to the new mailstore (Zimbra) as well as the old (Sun Messaging).

I'm not exactly sure how to do this. I've tried modifying aliases to forward to 2 destinations, but ldap routing seems to take precedence before aliases.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I think you can:

1. use .forward file
2. create entries in /etc/aliases
user1: user1@old.com, user1@new.com
3. create sendmail rule to forward the incoming emails

I think #2 probably is easier.
