Your question is entirely too vague.

If you have sendmail (the MTA) configured on your system, with procmail as the LDA (Mlocal = procmail) or invoked via a .forward file (within the individual user home dir), when mail comes in, if it is destined to a "real" local user, it'll be passed off to procmail.

If you want to forward the mail from within your user account to another user (perhaps even at another host/domain), then a procmail recipe like so:

:0
* ^From:(_dot_)*joebob(_at_)otherdomain\(_dot_)tld
!nimmie(_at_)myotherdomain(_dot_)tld

Would forward messages which arrive in this user's account from this joebob fellow to your other account someplace else. Add a 'c' to the flags line, and this account would still have a copy of the message.

In reality, such forwards should also have loop checking added to them, but I think rather than getting into those details, you could first elaborate upon what you're trying to do.
