You can use the .forward file to copy as well, allowing delivery to
both the original addressee as well as the remote address. Do something
like this:
~localuser/.forward:
\localuser,remote@domain.com
That will cause the mail to be copied to the address "remote@domain.com"
while still doing the local delivery to the mailbox for "localuser".
The user can set this up on their own if they want. You can also use
/etc/aliases to get the same effect, but that requires an admin to set
things up for them.
