Hi:

Does anybody know how to forward an e-mail from 'A' account to 'B' account
automatically?  In addition, it will left a copy on 'A' account which means
both 'A' and 'B' get e-mail.

Thank in advacne

If your A account is a unix account,

in your home directory, in file .forward (make sure you put in the "."),
[email-masked]

will forward the mail to B.  But, it won't leave it on A, so
\usernameonA [email-masked]  

will do it.  Maybe.  Sorry, I don't remember the exact syntax.  Anybody?
".forward" also needs to be world-readable, I think.  "chmod o+r .forward"

Just the opposite on B, if you want mail arriving at B to go to A as
well.  Caveat - this *may* create an endless mail loop.  See man procmailex
and man procmail for ways around this.
