How to setup mail forwarding:
- Telnet into your shell account first. If you need to forward mail from your POP-only account, you will need to contact support@binary.net, because POP-only email accounts do not come with shell access.
- You will need to create a file in your home directory, called
.forward. In that file you will need to put email address or addresses, where you would like all your mail forwarded to.
- You can use any available editor to do that, or follow a simple procedure below.
- At the shell prompt type:
cat > .forward
- Then type your other email address, where you want to forward your mail to:
another@email.com
- Then type
Control-D .
- Then you will see the shell prompt again, and at the prompt type:
chmod go-wx+r .forward
- The command above will change file permissions, so that other users will not be able to edit your forward file, and put arbitrary data in it.
- More information is available on
cat and chmod commands.
- For a description of more sophisticated mail forwarding and filtering techniques, please see
procmail documentation.
Please contact support@binary.net if you have any further questions.
