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.
