I have more than one Unix account. How will the blue.unix cluster affect my mail?
A9. If you have accounts on more than one Unix machine that uses the home directory service (accounts on “blue,” holmes, and jm), you have the potential for your mail to be “scattered.” To keep all your mail going to one system, create a .forward file that has the full address for the system on which you read your mail, such as: Your_Computing_ID@unix.mail.virginia.edu DO NOT use: Your_Computing_ID@virginia.edu as you may cause the system to develop a “mail loop.” You may either create this .forward file with a Unix editor or via the “System Customization”->”Mail Preferences”->”Forward All Mail to Another Address” options on the umenu. If you have questions about forwarding your mail, please send them to “unix-consult@virginia.edu” or call the ITC Help Desk at 924-3731.
