Solution:

NOTE: This information applies to UNIX systems in general, but not to acme.gatech.edu. Acme does not process incoming e-mail.

---

Log in to your UNIX account.

To forward all incoming mail to address@otherdomain.net, type the following command at the prompt*:

echo address@otherdomain.net > .forward

Specific Examples:

echo palpatine@empire.gov > .forward
echo yoda@jedicouncil.org > .forward

All future incoming messages will be forwarded.

To forward all incoming mail and keep a copy of each message in your account, type the following command at the prompt*:

ksh -c 'echo \\\\$USER, address@otherdomain.net > .forward'

To stop the forwarding at any time, enter the following command at the prompt:

rm .forward

* If you already have a .forward file, these commands will overwrite it. If you have one and just want to change it, you can use an editor like pico or vi. If you aren't sure if you have a .forward file, type "ls -la .forward" without the quotes to see. If you have one, but aren't sure what it says, type "cat .forward" without the quotes.
