• a .forward file
• a .vacation.msg file
• Before we continue you should know
• the message you want others to see when someone
  gets an auto reply message from you

We begin by first creating the .forward file.
To do this, we simply enter pico .forward at
the command line. Follow the picture above and
type it in exactly as you see it, then hit
ENTER.

You should see the above window open after you
have entered pico .forward. You will need
your username to create the file, so if you dont
remember it, please refer back to slide 3 where
your username is explained.

• Enter the following \username,
  /usr/bin/vacation username
• Refer to picture above for reference. Replace all
  instances of username with your own username.
• Please pay close attention to the different
  directions of the / (slashes). You will find the
  pipe character under the backspace key.

Once youve finished the above command line, now
you are ready to save this file. To save, simply
HOLD down the CONTROL KEY and hit the
letter X. When you do that correctly, you will
be asked if you want to save the modified buffer
on the bottom of the screen. Type in Y for yes.
And then hit ENTER twice. You should be put
back in to the shell screen automatically
afterwards.

Now we are finished with the .forward file,
your screen should look similar to above. We are
now ready to proceed to final steps of this
process.. Almost done.. Yeah!!!
14
We are now ready to make your away message. To do
that, simply enter pico .vacation.msg on the
command prompt. The procedures are almost exactly
like the file we have just created.
15
We are in the editing screen again once we have
entered pico .vacation.msg. From here
you can enter any message you like. The message
you select will be the message people receive
when they send e-mail you while you are away. We
have a sample of a typical message. You can
follow your own format if you like.

Above is a sample message. You can enter your own
message in here. When you are done, Hold down
CONTROL KEY and hit X. It will asked you
want to save again. Enter Y for yes and hit
ENTER twice to complete the setup.
