That depends on your setup. If you have sendmail you could set an alias
in the "aliases" file of your system, depending of your version it
will be located in /etc/mail if sendmail_version > 8.10 and in
/etc if sendmail version <= 8.9.X:
username: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or alternatively you could put a ".forward" file in the users home dir
with the address pointing at the new mailbox.
