Or if you don't have smail, try "mail -F forwarding!address", replacing
"forwarding!address" with the actual address to which you want your mail
forwarded of course.  It should put the following text in your /usr/mail
mailbox:

  Forward to forwarding!address

This works at least with SVR3.  I don't know about SVR2.
