if you are using a 'real' username to accept the mail, you can use the 
.forward file... (goes in the home dir of the user)

The .forward file is usually one line long and contains nothing but the 
address to forward to. Multiple addresses are separated by commas.

Example 1: Forward my mail to myaddress at somewhere.else.edu:

myaddress at somewhere.else.edu

Example 2: Same, and also keep a copy here in my own account xyz999:

\xyz999, myaddress at somewhere.else.edu

In both examples, the file is one line long ending with a RETURN. In the 
second example, the backslash \ tells the mail system not read the 
.forward again.
