Set a New Forwarding Address

In your Typescript or xterm window, type the following command

forward newaddress

where newaddress is the address to which you wish to have mail forwarded. The address may be in any form that is accepted by Andrew Message System programs. If you wish to specify more than one address, separate the addresses with commas, as in

forward newaddress1, newaddress2

"Forward" will validate the address for you, and print out a line of confirmation. In general, it will take a few days for your forwarding address to take effect. If it takes longer than a week, report that fact to advisor. When you type in the forward command, it should result in the following output:

%forward biafra@psy



The forwarding address for user jbRo in cell andrew.cmu.edu



will be established as ``biafra@psy.cmu.edu''.
