Pegasus Mail

Forwarding Electronic Mail from Pegasus

Like electronic mail on the VAX, Pegasus also has the ability to set a forwarding address. A system administrator (Supervisor) needs either set the forwarding address or enabled the capability for the user to set their forwarding address. A DOS utility that comes with Pegasus called PMGRANT can be used for these purposes.

 

Setting a forwarding address (Supervisor for a user)

1. Change to the F:\PMAIL\PEGASUS directory (or the directory containing the Pegasus utilities)
2. Enter in the following to forward Local mail:
        pmgrant -L <username> <forwarding address>
3. Enter in the following to forward Internet mail:
        pmgrant -I <username> <forwarding address>
Note: Replace <username> with the users Novell Netware logon name Replace <forwarding address> with the address that you want the mail forwarded to. This address can either be an Internet address or a local username.

Removing a forwarding address (Supervisor for a user)

For Local Mail: pmgrant -L-
For Internet Mail: pmgrant -I-
