Hi,
the subject says it all..
Do I use a .forward file or somthing else?
I want to forward all email arriving at an account on the Bubba to another (external) email address.
Would be great if I could have the option of keeping a copy of all forwarded emails on the Bubba, but if that's not possible that's ok as well.
Thx
MD

How to set up mail forwarding on Bubba?
Yes its possible to forward mail.
Hi MD,
Yes its possible to forward mail.
Login the ssh shell (terminal) (See bubba manual how to do that.).
Make yourself root by typing "su".
password is excito
Type "pico /etc/aliases"
make al line like:
localusermailadres(everything before the @ sign): where@togo.adres
like:
md: my@email.com
press control an "o" for saving the changes.
control "x" for closing pico.
And now type " newaliases" for reloading the changes you made and it works.
Second thing is there's no copy left on the bubba server.
If you want a copy left on the server, the only thing i could think off is make another mail account and send also a copy of the mail to that mail account by using the same aliases.
