man forward is your friend, but briefly, if your local user name is david,
and you want to forward a copy to david at domain goliath.com, create a .forward file
in your home directory like this

\david, david at domain goliath.com

which will send a copy to david and david at domain goliath.com - the \ on david
inhibits further forwarding.
