In reviewing some of the sample configs with Sendmail, I noticed some that used a seperate directory for searching for .forward files. Has anybody used this? How did you configure it? Reason I ask is that I have some clinet Intranet servers setup (using FreeBSD of course!) to handle email, internal ftp/web, etc. that need 1.) a "group-oriented" directory space for web stuff, and a "group" email name (that is, the admin group needs an area that they can scribble web pages on at www-int.company.com/admin. They also need to handle e-mail directed to admin@company.com.) My first thought was to samba mount (their desktop pc's are win95...) each groups area to their desktops and place the .forward there (all admin types get r/w access to drive G: samba mounted to/usr/home/admin). But, want to control (somewhat) the forwarding for the admin, etc. addresses, and let the sysadmin & one in each user group to admin the mail handling. Hence the idea about one /var/forward/... directory to search for forwarding. Ideas, suggestions, pitfalls, better ideas, all welcome.
