I was also just told that in newer versions of sendmail, you can have
multiple e-mail addresses in your .forward file, including the email
address that you are getting e-mail at. Sendmail is now smart enough to
not send the mail in a loop.
if you receive e-mail at user@domain.com
you can have in your .forward:
user@domain.com
user@anotherdomain.com
and it won't continue to foward it through.
