I tend to agree with Tim Luoma on this one, but it is not a hack -
rather a feature.

Putting a file named ".forward" in the UNIX directory of a shell account
allows any mail send to that account to be automatically forwarded to
the address listed in the file.  The original headers are preserved.

We use Linux and sendmail.  This feature works great.
