VMS Mail Forwarding

SETTING UP EMAIL FORWARDING on VMS

(1) Login to the VMS system and use the VMS mail reader. (Type "mail" at the $ prompt).

(2) enter this command:

set forward in%"""newname@desiredcomputer.nyu.edu"""

Make sure that you include both sets of quotation marks at both ends of your new email address.

(3) Exit from the mail program.

In item 2 above,

	The 3 double-quotes are required,
	newname is the name you use to login to the system where you want to receive your email, and
	desiredcomputer is the name of the computer where you want to receive your email.

Having done this, all email addressed to your VMS account will permanantly be forwarded to the new email account, whether you retain an account on the VMS system or not.
