If you want to forward mail with mailx, for example, from 'tim'
to 'mary', you would do the following:
cd to /usr/mail (or /usr/spool/mail)
edit a file called 'tim'
Make the file read: 'Forward to mary'
Of course, you could just do the following:
echo "Forward to mary" > tim
Any mail sent to tim will be redirected to mary's mailbox.
