Set up a ~/.forward file on the solaris machine. Format is documented in aliases(1) if you have it. Make it forward all mail to your email account @ your own machine, after you have ensured that your machine will indeed receive mail correctly from the solaris machine and that it knows not to start a mail loop if something unexpected happens (dns out of the air for a few minutes, doublebounces, etc.).
