# forward(1)

forward new mail to one or more addresses

## NAME

forward - forward new mail to one or more addresses

## SYNOPSIS

in **.qmail**: **\|forward** *address ...*

## DESCRIPTION

**forward** forwards each new mail message to the specified list of addresses. It is a simple wrapper around **qmail-queue**. It achieves the same results as listing each *address* separately in **.qmail**, but it is more programmable since *address* can be constructed on the fly.
