|
|
hi!
I would like to create a forward e-mail address name.something@domain.org
to
something.outside@yahoo.com
How can I do it through SSH Access on a Gentoo server?
Thank you in advance.

Easyest way is to put .forward file into user's home directory with desired address in it. |

AFAIK the .forward file is kind of *NIX standard and every MTA out there should check for it. As every networking client (ftp, wget etc.) program reads users .netrc file. |
