Assume your domain is "example.com".
You need to edit the .redirect file in your home directory. The file .redirect is in your system by default. You cannot see it if you run ls or with some FTP clients because files beginning with a dot are “hidden”. From a telnet session you must use ls -a to see it. To edit the file you can use vi, pico or joe (see the FAQ Support). Here is a sample .redirect file for example.com:
default example@example.com
webmaster example@example.com
sales joe@aol.com,mike@whatever.com
info robert@example.com
That will automatically redirect all webmaster@example.com emails to
example@example.com, sales@example.com to joe@aol.com AND
mike@whatever.com, and info@example.com to robert@example.com. All others will go to example@example.com. Note that webmaster line isn't necessary, but it's better to specifically redirect it to example@example.com.
It's important to note that the second column must be REAL accounts. You cannot redirect emails to an alias.
Please note that it takes a few minutes for the .redirect file to go into effect after you've updated it. |
