Others already pointed out that the aliases file will probably work well

Just an additional note: sendmail is somewhat paranoid about .forward
permissions (and rightly so): if a .forward is world writable or the home
directory is, it will refuse to use it, and some message about this will
end up in your system logs. Maybe that's where the difference between
your systems was.

I don't think that the use of /etc/aliases or .forward makes any
difference, sendmail is trying to send the message. Just by looking at
the maillog it appears that it is sent but it only arrives from the one
machine and goes into the bit bucket in the sky for the other two
machines. I did notice the difference in the maillog between a working
an a non-working machine but I don't know if it matters or not.
