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.
