I have a user with accounts on two different machines here.  He would
like to have it so that when he receives mail addressed to either machine
a copy is delivered to both machines.

What he naively was to have a .forward file on both machines saying
to deliver to the local machine and also to the other.  This of course
resulted in the mail bouncing between the two machines until the maximum
hop count hit, then delivering it to MAILER-DAEMON.

Can anybody think of a clever way to achieve what he wants?
