Forward emails instead of store(Ubuntu 12.04 x64)

Posted on November 5, 2014

Is there any way in which I can setup my email receiving server on srv.mywebsite.com and then add an email address me@mywebsite.com but instead of receiving emails and storing them, just forward them to me@myemailprovider.com?

Help will be much appreciated!
