Setting Up Email at CIS

How to forward your CIS email to another address

To forward your CIS email, you must log onto one of the CIS unix systems. We'll use glenn for this example. Log onto glenn, either via SSH or directly on the systems console. For this example, we are going to use the username abc1234 and assume (s)he wishes to forward the mail to abc1234@rit.edu. Replace abc1234 with your actual CIS username and abc1234@rit.edu with the email address you wish to forward to. The address can be any valid email address.

At the shell prompt, which will look like glenn [1]% enter the following command:

        echo "abc1234@rit.edu" > $HOME/.qmail

The .qmail file must reside in your home directory.
