A suitably privileged user can add an arbitrary username to the VMSMAIL
forwarding database without that name being an actual account.  In fact,
the name kept in the forwarding file doesn't even have to be a valid
VMS username (e.g. ALBERT-EINSTEIN).

To set up forwarding for HELP, you'd type the command:

	MAIL> SET FORWARD/USER=HELP SYSTEM
