I think you can also create a file named ".forward" in your root=B4s home
directory, which has the mail address, you want all mails to be forwarded
to, as the only line in it. A long time I used this, so I=B4m not completely
sure, if it was on a FreeBSD system. At least it was on a Unix of some
flavor, hope it still works :-)
