Sendmail .forward file configuration is not working
Issue
-
I have added the
.forward
file with the correct address, but I have not been able to forward emails to the external address. The emails reside in the user's mailbox. -
/var/log/maillog
shows the following:
Jan 1 20:28:31 host sendmail[4698]: r024SV3n004697: forward /root/.forward: Permission denied
