Question Forwarding Mail from Unix account

I have a simple question.

i have an e-mail account with an ISP on a Solaris box. I want to forward all the mail that comes to "only" me to another POP3 account. I used to have the commands written down on how to forward all but I have lost them. Is there a way to forward only e-mails that are address to "only" me. It's probably obvious now but I use this account for junk mail and registration purposes but some old friends still have this account and occasionally I need to see info sent to it, but for the most part it is a spam collector.


anyone??

thanks

add the destination email address to a file ".forward" in your home directory.

Not sure off the top of my head how to selectively forward mail (i.e addressed to you as opposed to cc to you - check man pages on mail, mailx, elm, etc.)

No man pages

Unfortunatley, the ISP has removed the useful man pages. Thanks for the advice, please let me know if you come across any specifics on filtering which mail gets FWD.
