Carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of deko
of comp.lang.php make plain:

> I'm trying to redirect requests for /index.php to

> If I use an index file in / with only this line:
>
> <?php header("Location:http://www.mysite.com/mydirectory/"); ?>

That will work, so long as that's all you want to redirect. However, if
someone visits http://www.mysite.com/mydirectory/someoldfile.php, it
won't.

> RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http: //10.10.10.10/

..htaccess has nothing to do with email, only web requests.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/example/
RewriteRule (.*) /example/$1

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/example/
RewriteRule (.*) /example/$1
