Email Forwarding

To ensure that you are receiving updates and announcements from the Computer Science Department, please make sure you have correctly set up your email forwarding from your @cs.torontomu.ca email to your @torontomu.ca email. The following steps will allow you to complete the setup from your own device while on campus.

1. Connect to your moon account through your terminal:
> ssh username@moon.cs.torontomu.ca

2. Create a file used for forwarding information:
> nano .forward

3a. Type the email address to forward your emails to on the first line of the file:
> username@torontomu.ca
3b. Type your cs email on the second line of the file:
> username@cs.torontomu.ca

4. Hit CTRL + X to close the file, Y to save your changes, and ENTER to confirm your filename

5. Grant the necessary permissions through your terminal:
> chmod 711 ~
> chmod 644  .forward

Your email forwarding should now be set up successfully! To test it out, send an email to your @cs.torontomu.ca email address and it should appear in your @torontomu.ca inbox after a short period of time. 

It may take a period of time to fully set up your email forwarding. You may need to wait up to an hour for the change to take effect.
