Re: forward file

I don't think there's a reason to setup 2 forwarding addresses pointing at
each other, it's just going to bounce between the two... you should set your
.forward to delete all incoming mail, this way the sender gets nothing, mail
ends up getting deleted.
very similar to what the sri lankan post office does !!.
