Re: Options for the .foward file?
The .forward file in your home directory can be used to send e-mail to anyone that is listed in it. For example, I want to send e-mail to myself but I go through a mail relay host, so I use a fully qualified address to send it. The 'root' account can generally have this setup so that mail is forwarded to various address such as system admins.
# cat .forward
michael.tully@mydomain.com
Make sure that sendmail has been setup correctly for this.

Re: Options for the .foward file?
You can also use pipes in your .forward file so that a script can act on your mail buffer eg.:
|~/sendrootmail
This will allow you to customize actions or filter rules to be taken on the received emails.
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: Options for the .foward file?
You could also have something like this...if you would like it short..
In root's .forward
Your username only..(without the fully qualified name)
For e.g.
skhan
and in my home directory I have a .forward which has
skhan
skhan@mydomain.com
