It doesn't do anything. I then removed the .forward file and typed
echo emailaddress > .forward
Then I sent a test email, but I got this error message back:

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following

The .forward file needs to contain only the target mail address, and must be in your home directory, owned by you and have permissions set to 600.
