Most mail servers have a way to forward a copy of an message to another user's address (in additional to routing the message to the original recipient's mailbox). If the mail server is running on a Linux system, this is usually done using a .forward file. See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/qmail/users/42753 for more info.
