Fowarding email from CMGM Accounts

This document contains instructions for forwarding mail sent to users @cmgm.stanford.edu mailboxes to other accounts. These instructions may followed from any Macintosh or Windows-based computer.

Using the "forward" CMGM Command

Start PC- or Mac-Samson, and log in to host cmgm.stanford.edu using your CMGM account username/password or Kerberos.

At the starting prompt, type "forward":





If you previously forwarded your email from CMGM to another account, you will be asked if you want to turn off forwarding:



Type "y" to turn off forwarding. You will need to type "forward" at the cmgm prompt again in order to specify a different forwarding address. (In the example above, email sent to my email account was forwarded to username@domain).

If you have not used the forward program before, you will asked if you want to continue. Type "y" and return.



At the prompt, specify the email address you will use instead of @cmgm.stanford.edu.



Verify that you have entered the forwarding address by typing "y" and check your new email address for a message from CMGM indicating that the forward has been applied.
