Hi,
I’ve set up an OpenSUSE server, and successfully configured postfix to manage mail for our domain. However, I would like to forward emails sent to some addresses on to other addresses. For example, mail sent to:
is delivered as normal, but also forwarded to:
How do I do this?
Cheers,
Pete
Hi
Use (as in add the users) the /etc/aliases file and run newaliases after
the changes.

To be more specific, you need a line like this in /etc/aliases:
local_user: \local_user,xyzwhatever@whatever.com
The \ prevents recursive expansion of local_user. You can also do this in ~local_user/.forward without the leading local_user:.
OK. I didn’t know i could put full email addresses into the aliases file, i thought it might be just local usernames. Thats cool. So I would set “local_user” and “xyzwhatever@whatever.com” as aliases for “local_user” ?
You need to do this:
local_user: \local_user,xyzwhatever@whatever.com
The \ stops recursive expansion of local_user.
Fantastic! Just what I needed to know. Thanks.
