[fetchmail-users] Simply forward mail?

[Ken W. <ke...@ya...>]

Hi, I'm lost.  

I run sendmail on linux.  I have a mail drop (/var/spool/mail/user) with some mail in there. I
simply want to take this mail and forward it to another email address like say us...@ya....

How can I do this?  Seems to be the most difficult thing in the world.

Thanks.

Not exactly a fetchmail question, but.....

formail -ts /usr/sbin/sendmail us...@ya... < /var/spool/mail/user

I have a 141-line shell script to do this robustly, but it all really 
comes down to that one line.
