Assuming the forwarding is based on the contents of the message or it's
headers, procmail should be able to do what you need. In RH5.0, it's the
default local mailer so it should already be installed. A recent edition of
Linux Journal <http://www.ssc.com/lj/> has an article about using it's
advanced filtering capabilities. You'll need to learn about regular
expressions to get an efficient set of filters that do what you want. But
it's effective and it's free. There's also supposed to be a X program
around that helps set up the filters; "The Dotfile Generator" or TDG.
