Hy there!

I'm new in this section and would like to know from any "prof" if there
is
any possibility to:
	* copy incoming mails and redirect this copies to an other eMail 		   	
address (home-address), as a background task...
	* send the complete INBOX as one eMail/File to an other eMail	
		address (home-address), eg. twice a day.
	  (even if one is not logged on)
Are there any programs who do this? Any hints, suggestions are very
welcome!!!

Thanx!

Antony

>PS: System is Linux, Pine 3.95

Suggestion:

try

man forward

This should be able to do the closest thing you're looking for. Also, as 
far as sending an INBOX, find out where the inbox is stored..like 
/var/mail/username or something, and read

man at

or 

man cron

and tell at or cron <whichever> to send the file at a certain time by 
doing this:

cat mailfile | mail [email-masked]

You might use cron. It's easier. You use the crontab command. If you use 
at, type

at time1 'cat mailfile | mail user;at time1 cat mailfile | mail user'
at time2 'cat mailfile | mail user;at time2 cat mailfile | mail user'

the second at is to tell at to run the command again, as once it runs it, 
it'll just forget it.

cron on the other hand remembers...but some systems won't let normal 
users use cron... :)

hope this helps.

I'm new to Unix, but if you have access to the mail file. Rename the
file on your server. Rename on target computer, FTP to yourself, rename
back to mail. Would that not count as untracable EMAIL forwarding??

If the above worked. You could always cut out what you wanted and put
the file back. Let me know if this works or not.

Yup. Sendmail can do this. qmail can do it even better. 

All you need is a .qmail (with qmail) which contains
/home/user
[email-masked]

I would omit the sending of the complete INBOX, but instead
forward it.
