I need to set up mail forwarding on debian server

  • 772

I have a new Debian squeeze VPS with which I'm using to serve a couple of web sites. I have an email address [email protected] that I would like to redirect to [email protected].

Can I install some script or service to do that? If so what would suit my needs best. I did some looking around already and found sendmail but that looks too complex and nullmailer but I'm not sure if that would work for this scenario.

  1. I use Exim4 which should be available as a package. Configuration can mostly be done with dpkg-reconfigure. Once it is installed add the appropriate alias to /etc/aliases.

    You likely want to configure using a smarthost (mail relay). You will need to decide if you want any local email, or want to send all messages to your gmail account.

    Either postfix or sendmail should be just about as easy to configure.
