Dear support staff,

I'm going to be out of town for a while. How can I get all my mail 
forwarded to my current e-address overseas?

Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Alexei Rybkin

You may wish to use the program "vacation", which is usually located in
/usr/bin/vacation.  More specific questions should go to your local
support staff and or network administrator.

I don't know much about the vacation programme. The simplest way, imo, 
is to put a file called '.forward' into your home directory pointing
to your current address.

echo 'my-brand-new-address' > $HOME/.forward

That should do the trick. Don't forget to remove the file afterwards.

L8er, norbert.
