Establish a forwarding address. Syntax FORWARD username forward-to-address Command Qualifiers Defaults /OVERRIDE /OVERRIDE
1 – Parameters
username Username for which to establish a forwarding address. forward-to-address Address to which to forward messages. Must be a single, fully- qualified RFC822 address-specifically, a RFC822 "addr-spec".
2 – Description
Messages destined for the popstore can be automatically forwarded to a different popstore addressee or to another address outside of the popstore altogether. This is done by establishing a forwarding address with the FORWARD command. For instance, to forward all mail for the popstore user SANDY to the address sandra@example.com, issue the command popstore> FORWARD SANDY SANDRA@EXAMPLE.COM The username supplied (e.g., SANDY) need not correspond to an actual popstore account. Note that if more than one forwarding address is supplied, then each address should be separated by commas and all the addresses enclosed in a set of double quotes. For example, popstore> FORWARD SANDY "SANDY,SANDRA@EXAMPLE.COM" When a forwarding address is established for an actual popstore user, that user will no longer receive mail in the popstore unless the forwarding includes their account in the list of addresses to forward to. For instance, the first example above would cause the account SANDY to no longer receive into the popstore mail sent to it. The mail is instead directed to sandra@example.com. In the second example, however, mail will still be stored into the popstore for the account SANDY. In addition, a copy of the mail will be forwarded to sandra@example.com.
3 – Command Qualifiers
3.1 /OVERRIDE
/OVERRIDE (default) /NOOVERRIDE By default, forwarding addresses can be established for existing popstore users. Specify /NOOVERRIDE to prevent inadvertently forwarding an existing user's messages elsewhere. A manager cannot establish a forwarding address which will override a popstore account outside of their own management group.
