I have tried to use this same approach to forward mail and have been
unsuccessful. The reason is that VMS mail does not replace the 
original TO: address with the forwarded one specified in the 
SET FORWARD command. The result is the TWG mailer dropping the 
mail because it normally only has an address of the form node::user
in the TO: field. 

If you have found something different, please post it.
