It is spelled ".forward", and there isn't really a format, just
put the new address in the file.
For example, if you want mail to "fred" to be forwarded to
fsmith@isp.com, you would create a file in ~fred (Fred's home
directory) called ".forward". In the file you would put the text
"fsmith@isp.com".

You can do this too, though it is probably better to use .forward,
so that each user owns the file and can change it if they wish.
Usually, only root can mess with the aliases file.
