The key part of your request is answered by using IP addrs in square brackets, which will not require DNS MX or A lookups. So, add something like: foo@[10.0.0.55] ...to the ~/.forward file of root or wherever the mail is going to now. Yes, you could put this in the aliases, or even use a mailertable to redirect all local mail to the other system. -- -Chuck
