Probably the easier way to do this is just to use aliases.
("man 5 aliases").  Add entries to /etc/aliases such as:

john		john@other.host.com.

This will forward all mail for john to john@other.host.com.
This should be sufficient unless you plan on doing this
with large amounts of users.  This way, you can avoid
creating virtual user tables, shell accounts, ~/.forward's,
etc.

Hello;

There is an easy way to setup email accounts on a debian potato box, without
setting up a full shell account?  I just want to setup a few 'forward' email
accounts, so that when that account receives mail it's just forwarded to
another offsite account.

Thanks,
Ryan
