i mispelled my problem, sorry :P

i want to send all arrived mails at /var/spool/mail/john to for
example [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]

i think the formail is a good option, but i don't know how to tell
sendmail to send the mails! :( I tryed running your command and there
was a little problem, some mails were sent again to all users (i've
set up a 'to all' account i mean.. one mail that sends to every user
an email) and i just want to be redirected to one mail account in
particular.

sorry again!

cat /var/spool/mail/${USER} | formail +1 -ds sendmail -oem ${USER}

I don't know if it is working, it is not my idea. But you must have
alias defined before, otherwise it would be delivered probably to
the same mailbox (maybe infinite loop?)...
