There are 4 steps needed to accomplish this:
 
1) On MIAVX1 (the "Vax"), issue the command MAIL.  At the EMAIL> prompt,
issue the command SET NOFORWARD.  This will make sure that you don't have a
forward setup there.
 
2) On MIAVX1, issue the command PHREG at the $ prompt.  This will allow you
to change your email address is Ph/Qi.  Set your email address to
[log in to unmask]  After this, all mail sent to [log in to unmask]
will be send to your MIAVX1 account.
 
3) On MIAMIU (the IBM), issue the command TELL MAILER SET FORWARD
[log in to unmask]  This will forward your mail to your Ph/Qi account
where it will be sent on to your MIAVX1 account.
 
4) On the NeXTs, create a file in your login directory called .forward.  In
it, put the address [log in to unmask]  This will forward your mail to
your Ph/Qi account where it will be sent on to your MIAVX1 account.
 
Hope this helps (and hope I haven't forgotten anything).
