dovecot - Feb 2009 - Dovecot + Postfix Mail Forwarding Question

I have dovecot and postfix set up on debian lenny. Squirrelmail is  
used to access the mail. I put a .forward file in my user's home  
directory, and that sure gets the job done of forwarding email, but I  
need a copy saved on the local machine as well. How do I do that?

If a local user address is prefixed with a backslash character, mail is
delivered directly to the user's mail spool file, bypassing further
redirection.

For example, if user chris had a .forward file containing the following
lines:

	chris at otherhost
	\chris

One copy of mail would be forwarded to chris at otherhost and another copy would
be retained as mail for local user chris.
