RE: Email forwarding on the AS400

Tony,

Yes, this works, and it's surprisingly easy. I think this is the article you
are referring to....

http://www.as400service.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/document/10000051

It works for any email address, not just on the same 400. We have this set
up at several clients for when people are on vacation or salesmen who are on
the road. We also use it for when the customer wants me or one of the other
consultants to have an email address on their domain, so we don't have to
check 20 different mailboxes. We just forward everything to our corporate
mailbox. If I remember, the hard part was figuring out how to turn
forwarding OFF(the article doesn't mention that).

I can post a CL we use to do this if you like, but I think there's already
an example in the list archives.

Subject: Email forwarding on the AS400


Hi all,
Maybe someone has done this??

I'd like to set up email forwarding to allow email sent to, for example,
corbett@atlantaheights.com to arrive in mailbox william_corbett@hotmail.com.
The "real" email address listed is a live email address on my server...I'd
like to be able to "forward" this email to another account for when I'm
traveling, or possibly to set up emails using my domain name but forwarded
to a client's private email address.  For example, mail sent to
roger@atlantaheights.com actually shows up in rogerdodger@xyz.com mailbox.
I know this can be done on an internet hosting service, I'm doing it now on
XO's (unix) email services.  I believe this can be done on the AS400
I have referred to the "email forwarding" information in the AS400
knowledgebase articles, but the info I can find seems to be just for
forwarding to another email address on the same AS400.

My real question is: if this will work, how do I set up the user id and SDD
entries to accomplish this?  Any routing entries necessary?  What am I
missing?

Thank you for your help.
