Seeking Mail Server? (Forwarding)

» close window

The Question is:

 
How can setup MAIL FORWARD for wildcard email address.
 
i.e.
 
I want to be able to do the following
 
SET FORWARD/USER=*_service@domain.com job@domain.com
 
so all email with _service suffix will be forwared to job@domain.com

Malcolm

The Answer is :

 
  The OpenVMS Wizard would use a tool best suited to this particular
  task, a mail server.  Mail servers are freely available for OpenVMS.
 
  Majordomo is one such example.
 
  The OpenVMS MAIL utility has no wildcard SET FORWARD capabilities,
  nor the desired alias capabilities, nor is there any particular
  support for forwarding mail messages out to a distribution list.
 
  It is possible to directly access and process data stored in the
  OpenVMS MAIL forwarding database, though this is not supported
  and not something the OpenVMS Wizard recommends.
