Forwaring Mail

[Johnny Stork]

My mistake everyone. I used webmin to add an alias using a full username at domain and it rejected it but simply using the prefix (username) worked fine and although their is no corresponding local user, it does work fine, as you all told me. 

Thanks again for the quick solution !!
