Mail Aliases

English Network/Internet
1

Hi Everyone,
I have two email servers which are located in two different regions, but working for the same comapny, they both run SUSE10.3, postfix, Dovecot & Squirrelmail. Also each server has a different domain name configured on it.
One of the Servers is the main one, the guys at the second office have to login to the main server to read their mail, which sometimes is slow because the servers are on different Networks (ISP’s); so i put up a server for them and i want to alias all the mail of those people from the main server to their Local server, such that they can access their mail locally without going through the internet, but also i want the Main server to retain a copy of each email of each account aliased to the other server;
Is there a way i can be able to do that?

Thanks all.
God Bles

For each user that needs mail forwarded, put a line in /etc/aliases that looks like this:

joe: \joe,joe@othermachine.org

Hi,
just asking, whats the relevance of the slash () before joe.

It says don’t expand the word joe again but deposit the email locally, otherwise you get an indefinite number of copies being sent out.
