A friend of mine is moving hosts (hasn't found a new provider yet) and doesn't want his email interrupted. I have a linux box just doing simple ipchains routing.

Anyone out there know how to set up sendmail in linux (RedHat 6.2) to forward email to another account by default if I have his domain pointed to my ip. (i.e. user@olddoman.com is automatically bounced to user@hotmail.com).

Thanks!

Ummm, Snark's right. Use qmail. Read the docs and faq pages and it tells you how to forward messages destined for one user to another.

If you don't want to switch see if you can set up .forward files (might be pine specific).
