I have a user who is in and out of the office.
The user would like to forward their mail in their absence to another user.
That I can do.
However they would like mail from one address (always the same known
address) to NOT be forwarded with the rest of the mail.

Can this be done?


TIA

Tony

You can do this with a procmail recipe

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

Sorry. I have inherited this system, can you give any pointers/web sites
to explain what you have suggested?

You need to make sure that procmail is used top deliver that user's
mail (e.g. via a .forward file containing):

"|/usr/bin/procmail -t"

Then that user needs a ".procmailrc". See "man procmailex" for an
example.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procmail
also has some examples.
