Copying all your emails to another account
Follow @ggarronIf you are like me, and administer your own email in a Linux box, and do not have set CPanel or any other similar tool, you can still forward your email to another account or, just send a cc to another account.
Let's say you are:
john@john.com
And the email for john.com is managed by a Linux server with sendmail, or Postfix, and you may want all your incoming email to john@john.com to be copied to john@gmail.com just have to edit or create the .forward file in your home directory
vim $HOME/.forward
and add these lines inside.
\john john@gmail.com
note that john itself has a "\" symbol, this is to instruct Sendmail or Postfix not to expand john again, or it will enter in a loop.
If what you want is just to forward and not keep a local copy enter something like this:
john@gmail.com
You can also copy to a lot of addresses.
john@gmail.com john@hotmail.com john@yahoo.com
You may say, that all of these can be done using /etc/aliases and yes it can, but if you do not have the root password, you can still create your own aliases file, using this approach.
