Edit the ~/.forward file. Place the friends address on the first line.
This should do it, unless your system has special requirements for 
.forward files. (The CoE network here requires the .forward to be
placed in a central directory).

Yes,  you can forward your mail by leaving a ".forward" file which contains 
your forwarded address. For example, my alternate account has a .forward 
file in my home directory. File has only one line 
     "[email-masked]" (without qoutes) 
and I pick up all of my mail from site.gmu.edu account.
