So you want to forward one to the other? If those two are the same machines, it should probably have a MX record (just don't ask me how!). Otherwise, put a file called ".forward" in the home directory of support on the machine you want to NOT receive the mail, and put the email address of the user you WANT to receive the mail in it. Then the mail will be forwarded from one account to the other. Or you could set up a mail alias in /etc/aliases like so: support:support@master.host.domain if the user called 'support' doesn't exist.
