Hi,
~/.forward files don't work since sendmail 8.9.0 was installed (IRIX 6.4).
I checked / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool /var/spool/mqueue
directories whether they are group-writable (not any more), commented the
O ForwardPath in /etc/sendmail.cf hoping that the default is ~/.forward .
The mails are delivered locally, and are not forwarded.
-------
Fragments of
/etc/sendmail.cf:
# level 8 config file format
V8/Berkeley
O DontBlameSendmail=forwardfileinunsafedirpath,
forwardfileinunsafedirpathsafe
# Configuration version number
DZ8.9.0
# Forward file search path
O ForwardPath=$z/.forward.$w+$h:$z/.forward+$h:$z/.forward.$w:$z/.forward

The machine is a NIS server and there are some problems with aliases map,
but can it be related?
What's wrong? Thanks for your help.
