Problems with .forward

Hi all,

Actual problem after the solution.

My problem seems to be solved after talking to Rob Vahsen. He pointed me in

the right direction.

The solution was to put the users in a seperate netgroup-file to allow them to

logon to our mail-server (default NOBODY can logon).

We are NOT happy with this but it works.

Thanx to all who replied to my problem.
