+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm forward
+.Nd mail forwarding instructions
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm .forward
+file contains a list of mail addresses or programs
+that the user's mail should be redirected to.
+If the
+file is not present, then no mail forwarding will be done.
+Mail may also be forwarded as the standard input to a program
+by prefixing the line
+with the normal shell pipe symbol (|).
+If arguments
+are to be passed to the command, then the entire line
+should be enclosed in quotes.
+For security reasons, the
+.Nm .forward
+file must be owned by the user the mail is being sent to,
+or by root, and the user's shell must be listed in
+.Pa /etc/shells .
+.Pp
+For example, if a
+.Nm .forward
+file contained the following lines:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+nobody@FreeBSD.org
+"|/usr/bin/vacation nobody"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Mail would be forwarded to
+.Aq nobody@FreeBSD.org
+and to the program
+.Pa /usr/bin/vacation
+with the single argument
+.Ar nobody .
+.Pp
+If a local user address is prefixed with a backslash
+character, mail is delivered directly to the user's
+mail spool file, bypassing further redirection.
+.Pp
+For example, if user chris had a
+.Nm .forward
+file containing the following lines:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+chris@otherhost
+\echris
+.Ed
+.Pp
+One copy of mail would be forwarded to
+.Ar chris@otherhost
+and another copy would be retained as mail for local user chris.
