: make it the full email address of where you want your mail forwarded

I need to forward my mail from a VMS machine.  I created the .forward 
file with the address I wanted my mail forwarded to in it, but it's not 
doing anything.  What should I be doing different?

on VMS, you get into VMS MAIL with the MAIL command, and then type

SET FORWARD newaddress

note that the newaddress may be of may formats:

	NODE::name
	"IN%""[email-masked]"""
	"SMTP%""[email-masked]"""

depending on how mail gets to your new system.

VMS is screwey in its forwarding protocals.  Pine .forward doesn't work 
on VMS...sorry...you gotta use VMS mail for that.

>From the VMS mail prompt, type:
set forward "<your protocal SMTP%, MX%, or IN%""address"""
