gweepnet online help : mail forwarding
|
How do I forward my email?
With your favorite text editor, edit the file ~/.qmail
In this file, place the following:
&user@host.com
This will automatically forward your mail to user@host.com.
How do I send a copy of my mail to another address, but also keep it on
sidehack?
This is very straightforward. Edit the ~/.qmail file as follows:
&user@host.com
/home/yourhomedir/yourlogin/Mailbox
Replace "yourhomedir" and "yourlogin" as appropriate. You can find out
what's appropriate by typing the following at a unix prompt:
cd ; pwd
What if I already have stuff in my .qmail file?
The most common thing you might see in that file is something like:
|preline /usr/bin/procmail
This is sending all of your mail to the procmail pre-processor, usually for
spam filtering and other sorting purposes. If you want to send your mail
offsite (without the procmail filtering) you can simply add the forward line
as above to your .qmail file, before the procmail line. Note that this will
have the effect of sending any spam which might be filtered out from
sidehack to your offsite address.
&user@host.com
|preline /usr/bin/procmail
If you want to do anything fancier than that, you'll have to email
system@gweep.net to talk to see if someone can help you out.
