You probably don't need any additional software.

Depending on what kind of mailer you have you can:

1) In your empty $MAIL file
   put an entry: Forward to: username

2) In your $HOME directory
   create a file: .forward
          a file called  .forward  
   In this file put an entry: username

On the systems I work with, either one of these choices work but they are
handled differently so if they both work on your system I would test each
one to see which one works best(correctly).
