Forwarding a users mail to another address is handled by a simple entry in the aliases file. For example, if you wanted to forward mail for john to  henry...do this.

vi /etc/aliases      (  for some common VI  commands see here.....)

scroll to the end of the file and your syntax will be as follows:

john:        henry


Save the file and run the command      newaliases.
This tells sendmail to re-read the changes.

If you were sending mail to an external email address, the syntax would be:


john:        henry@hotmail.com


If you were sending mail to multiple addresses, the syntax would be:


john:        henry@hotmail.com , sam@hotmail.com , george@hotmail.com


Very simple.
