NAME
     forward - e-mail forwarding information file

DESCRIPTION
     Users may put a file named .forward in their home directory. If this file
     exists, sendmail(8) (and sendmail-like mailers) will redirect mail for
     the user to the list of addresses found in the .forward file. .forward
     files must not be group or world writable. The user's home directory
     should not be group writable. The .forward file must be owned by and
     readable by the indicated user.

     A .forward file contains one or more lines where each line is an e-mail
     address or the name of a private incoming mailer where incoming mail will
     be forwarded. Examples:

	   # lines with # in the first column are ignored
	   # empty lines are ignored
	   # #@# with whitespace on both sides may be used to start a comment

	   foo@bar.baz.com			   #@# is a comment anywhere
	   "| /usr/local/libexec/slocal -user foo"

FILES
