Question The simplest solution to forward incoming emails to my gmail account ?


Hi everybody. I have a server on CentOS 5
And I would like to set up an automatic forward so that every incoming message of a specified user gets forwarded to a specified email (my gmail account).

In your opinion, what is the simplest solution ?

Welcome to LQ

You could use /etc/aliases, a forward file, or use procmail.
