Another thought: I notice you have an SDF account, so perhaps your mail
is on a shell server where others have configured the MTA for you. Even
in that case, I think a procmail configuration like mine should be quite
suitable, because MTAs typically call procmail or another MDA like
maildrop at the end of delivery, if the user has a ~/.forward or
~/.procmailrc.
