    Gentleones,

    I need to redirect incoming mail from one account into two accounts, both on other servers. (Don’t worry: it’s all in the family.) But I can’t seem to find a combination of punctuation, or spaces, that allows me to get both it to both places.

    A comma-space yields an error by AMS–it looks to connect to “server.com,:25”.

    A comma only yields an error by by AMS–a non-delivery report specifying a badly formed address.

    Semicolons have yielded inconclusive results. Haven’t looked at the logs on the remote server, but the mail isn’t showing up in the two designated post office boxes.

    BTW, the remote server is a 4D WebSTAR V server… same problem. Can’t find the punctuation that will let it function as I want it to.

    Last resort: I’m running Exim here with SpamAssassin as a spamfilter. It works very, very well–thanks, Joel! Can I use it to redirect to two recipients?

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Well, that works, but it sure is messy. Here’s what I did:

    Incoming mail (that is to be spamfiltered via Exim) is forwarded to a group which is local. Only the group’s short name is in the forwarding field. Members of that group are two users which have forwarding set to the appropriate accounts on other servers.

    It works, but is messy. After all, it requires one group and two users to be created for each user that requires forwarding to two places.

    Yech!

    Is there a better way?

    Thanks,
    Bill
