Linux forward email
Forwarding email in Linux can be done using various methods, depending on your email client and setup. Here are a few common ways to forward email in Linux:
Method 1: Using the mail
command
You can use the mail
command to forward email from the command line. Here's an example:
mail -f <original_email_address> -s "Subject" <recipient_email_address>
Replace <original_email_address>
with the email address that sent the original email, <recipient_email_address>
with the email address you want to forward the email to, and Subject
with the subject line you want to use.
For example:
mail -f [email protected] -s "Forwarded email" [email protected]
This will forward the email from [email protected]
to [email protected]
with the subject line "Forwarded email".
Method 2: Using a mail client like Mutt
If you're using a mail client like Mutt, you can forward email using the f
command. Here's an example:
f <recipient_email_address>
Replace <recipient_email_address>
with the email address you want to forward the email to.
For example:
f [email protected]
This will forward the current email to [email protected]
.
Method 3: Using a filter in your email client
Many email clients, including Mutt and Evolution, allow you to set up filters to automatically forward email. Here's an example of how to set up a filter in Mutt:
filter forward {
:0
f [email protected]
}
This will forward all email from [email protected]
to [email protected]
.
Method 4: Using a script
You can also use a script to forward email. Here's an example of a simple script that uses the sendmail
command to forward email:
#!/bin/bash
# Set the original email address and recipient email address
ORIG_EMAIL="[email protected]"
RECIPIENT_EMAIL="[email protected]"
# Set the subject line
SUBJECT="Forwarded email"
# Use sendmail to forward the email
sendmail -f $ORIG_EMAIL -s "$SUBJECT" $RECIPIENT_EMAIL
Save this script to a file (e.g. forward_email.sh
), make it executable with chmod +x forward_email.sh
, and then run it with ./forward_email.sh
.
These are just a few examples of how to forward email in Linux. The specific method you use will depend on your email client and setup.
