I have dovecot and postfix set up on debian lenny. Squirrelmail is used to access the mail. I put a .forward file in my user's home directory, and that sure gets the job done of forwarding email, but I need a copy saved on the local machine as well. How do I do that?
From forward(5):
If a local user address is prefixed with a backslash character, mail is delivered directly to the user's mail spool file, bypassing further redirection.
For example, if user chris had a .forward file containing the following lines:
chris@otherhost
\chrisOne copy of mail would be forwarded to chris@otherhost and another copy would be retained as mail for local user chris.
