LISTSERV's Mail Forwarding package (available from LISTSERV@CERN
as FORWARD PACKAGE) will do user-requested mail forwarding. It
implements a LISTSERV local command, /FORWARD, that lets users specify
the target address for their mail. Statistics are kept, and the
Postmaster can issue a /FORWARD SUMMARY to get them done up pretty.
It works by wrapping the mail up with Resent- headers and sending it
to the MAILER, so it won't work for files, but it's a good start. Our
users love it.
