This is what I do in my own odd 'round-the-world way:
I run a batch file, then a VB6 program. (The "=" below are only to separate
the contents from comments. Asterisks are to protect the innocent.)
Forward.bat contains
==================================================
rem create text file for VB6 program "forwarding"
cd\users
dir forward.ima /s >e:\forwardreport.txt
====================================================
>From Forward.bat I get a text file (forwardreport.txt) with this
=========================================================
Directory of E:\users\abuse
12/08/2004 10:01a 21 forward.ima
1 File(s) 21 bytes
Directory of E:\users\admissions
09/13/2004 12:57p 47 forward.ima
1 File(s) 47 bytes
Directory of E:\users\ahill****
09/15/2003 07:30a 24 forward.ima
1 File(s) 24 bytes
And so forth for each directory with a forward.ima in it .....
======================================================
This VB6 program gives the final report
======================================================
Private Sub Form_Load()
Open "i:\forwardreport.txt" For Input As #1
Open "i:\forwarding.txt" For Output As #2
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, dataline
If InStr(dataline, "Directory of ") Then
dirname = Right(dataline, Len(dataline) - 16)
Open "i:" + dirname + "\forward.ima" For Input As #3
Line Input #3, forwardaddress
Close 3
user = Right(dirname, Len(dirname) - 7)
Print #2, user; Tab(40); forwardaddress
End If
Wend
Close
End
End Sub
=============================================================
The final report is two colums - username and forward-to-address
=============================================================
abuse [EMAIL PROTECTED]
admissions [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ahill**** [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Like I said maybe odd, but works.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Searching for a Forward address
The thing that I forgot to add is that, we don't know the users account.
We'll get lots of emails saying:
"Please remove me from your list"
but they aren't on a list, they are in a users forwarding address.
And, as it usually happens, it's not the user who wants off, it's the parent
of the user (this is a high school setting).
I hope I'm making sense.
