We have a unique program called "PowerMail" installed on every server that handles e-mail through a simple file.

This file is the ".redirect" file that you can find in your home directory.

You can manage this file using the pico telnet editor with "pico .redirect".

Or you can make a text (and upload in ASCII or text mode) file in your home directory named .redirect:

For example let us say you have a .redirect file like the following:

eric 73452.452@compuserve.com
susan susan.simpson@mci.com
kim goddess@afterlife.com
hellllp 73452.452@instant-answers.net
john john
default crazy@bob.com

This would redirect mail for eric@yourdomain.com to 73452.452@compuserve.com, etc. Mail for john@yourdomain.com would go to the john account on our system: presumably this is your login, if you wrote this .redirect, and you can get that mail with any mail program. (Yes, write it in: it is not redundant! It is required to get mail sent to john@yourdomain.com out of PowerMail and into the more traditional mail system).

You are required to have entries for your real accounts (POP Boxes) in .redirect. Just make them

account1 account1
account2 account2

Mail to a user that was not in this list would be sent to the default user, crazy@bob.com. You are encouraged to have a default entry, if just to be sure you don't lose mail due to any other mistakes.
