(Perhaps rashly jumping in for Chip...)

Deliver is for local delivery.  On Sys V boxes it works best in company
with Smail 2.5.  The latter supports forwarding in the Sys V manner,
i.e., /usr/mail/foo contains "Forward to machine2!foo".

You could also bypass Smail's forwarding and do it in Deliver.  The
thing to keep in mind about Deliver is that the C program itself is BABY
simple, almost no bells and whistles.  All in the blooming world it does
is let YOU route stuff YOUR way using shell scripts -- as creatively or
stupidly as you feel like coding 'em.  If you wanted to translate
everything to Pig Latin and store it ROT13'd in a local newsgroup, no
problem.
