There is currently no way to do this.  The stumbling block is that mailer does
all forwarding by punching a BSMTP file to itself.  This new files contains
the destinations extracted from the 'userid FORWARD' file.  The result is that
Mailer cannot detect that this is a forwarding.

I'm looking at an approach to get around this.  Assuming it can be done, how
would you want a user to specify this in the FWD command?
