A line with a pipe in the .forward file means deliver mail to program through a pipe. A line with a path means deliver a copy to this mailbox and a line with an email address means forward a copy to the email address. You are mixing up 'mailertables' on sendmail, 'transports' on postfix and 'smtproutes' on qmail with .forward/.qmail local delivery instruction files. > > I agree "nothing to do" was a little strong worded, since everything > has to do with local delivery.
