We had a mail server that also contained data on it that we finally
retired. It was a Linux/Unix machine and the sys admin for it retired.

For the most part we were able to get people to stop using it as a mail
server years ago to use @berkeley.edu, but no sooner than when we
disconnected this server from the network than there was one faculty member
who wants to put in place a forwarding mechanism as some of his papers etc.
had references to it (don't get me started on why he didn't change over to @
berkeley.edu) and he can't notify or change every reference to it.

There is no one here who knows Linux/Unix and the computer is out of date
and sets off alerts with security@berkeley. I don't want to keep it alive
for this one purpose, however, I don't know how I can forward an email
addressed to an @soe.berkeley.edu to an @berkeley.edu or even have a
"vacation" message of sorts in place to say the other address is no longer
valid without putting that server back on the network.

Does anyone know of a way or knows if there is a campus "service" that will
"masquerade" as the @soe.berkeley.edu server and perform this forwarding?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Beth

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some
blunders and absurdities have crept in – forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a
spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
                            -Emerson

This is the essence of forgiveness. You can't change what happened but you
can make sure it doesn't have the power to prevent you from being happy
tomorrow.
