.forward file for mail redirection

I've set up a .forward file on a few identical servers that we have (all identical .forward file as well) but only one server is forwarding any of my unix mail (mail generated by cron) to my internet account.

Because these servers (5) are all identical in terms of aix versions, etc., I do not understand why only one works. The only difference that I can say is that these servers all run different cron jobs. Cron is the guy generating all these log messages and I'd like to see these emails in Outlook not unix.

Please advise as to what could be the issue. Is the use of the | tee command important in setting up the crontab to utilize the .forward file? Someone told me this is the case but I see no documentation in my unix admin book.

Thanks.
