You can use MAIL> FORWARD.  Note that the /USER in SET FORWARD (if you 
do it from a priviledged account) doesn't have to be a user on the 
system.  It doesn't even have to be a valid VMS username.

Another approach is to put a .DIS file in TCPIP$SMTP_COMMON, which will 
forward it at TCPIP level.  (FOO.DIS will cause all mail to foo at domain 
to go to all the addresses in the .DIS file.)  This has the advantage of 
keeping the RFC822 headers intact.
