There are three ways.
/etc/aliases
$HOME/.forward
$HOME/.procmailrc
Do test each of these.
in /etc/aliases
user1: user1, any@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
or depending on sendmail version.
user1: \user1, any@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
in $HOME/.forward
user1, any@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
or depending on the version of sendmail.
\user1, any@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
in $HOME/.procmailrc
:0c
! any@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Procmail has a number of advantages. If procmail is enabled in
sendmail the .forward might not work as expected (commonly the case in
Fedora).
Then there are interesting issues with ypaliases, LDAP and other site
administrative tricks. It is even possible to do this with hand
crafted stuff in sendmail.cf
