Greetings,

I have two old inactive accounts that continue to receive email from users
who haven't learned of my new address.

How do I setup a .forward file to have all email received on those accounts
to be forwarded to my new address automatically?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

In your home directory of the old accounts simply create a file
classed .forward that contains one line consisting of your new
address. Be sure to test this after you are done because a screwed
up .forward can really mess up your mail.
