Re: [Micronet] Forwarding mechanism for a defunct mail server

[Bernie ROSSI]

I sent a message privately to Beth, but thought this might be something
that others with retiring servers might want to consider.

We can take on the hostname as a subdomain in bConnected.  This will allow
the users to create aliases to their Berkeley accounts.  Any mail going to
that alias will go into their Berkeley account.

We have also been migrating mail from the servers into the Berkeley
accounts.

If you want to consider this, please see the KB article:

Thanks

Bernie

[Micronet] Forwarding mechanism for a defunct mail server

[Beth Muramoto]

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There is no one here who knows Linux/Unix and the computer is out of date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"vacation" message of sorts in place to say the other address is no longer
valid without putting that server back on the network.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

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.
