And I though I had figured out just about all possible uses for LISTSERV.
This one *never* occurred to me.

I have users here who work almost exclusively on our VAX cluster
but much of their mail is sent to their VM account.  I've had good
success combining the following two methods to forward their mail:
 
 1.  Use MAILER's FWDMAIL to take care of MAILER mail.
 
 2.  Set up a LISTSERV list of the same name as the VM userid
     to take care of anything else, using the following parameters:
 
     Review=Private Subscription=Closed Send=Editor Notify=No
     Reply=Sender,Respect Files=Yes Ack=No Validate=All_Commands
     Stats=None Confidential=Yes Editor=VAXaccountid Owner=VAXaccountid
 
I've had no complaints from either the receivers or the senders since
implementing this solution, and no RSCS changes were necessary.
