$ cat /home/foo/.forward
\foo, "|/usr/local/bin/drewl", foo at bar.com

This will drop a copy in /var/mail/foo. The \ means that this is a
real user and stop trying to find an alias for it.

Then send this mail through "/usr/local/bin/drewl".

And finally send a copy to foo at bar.com


If you want to machines to do "cross-posting" run the mail through
something (procmail comes to mind) that will add a X-Been-There:
header and not forward thoose to other machine.

And on a side note, UW-IMAP is bad news security wise as most of the
other that comes from UW (for example Pine).
