Can you explain that a little better?

For example: what "system" is it staying on, and where is your personal 
email address?  Do you mean your mail account or user account on your 
local linux system, or an ISP account, or something else?
By forward, I assume that you do not want the mail to appear on one of 
your local systems, as the general understanding of forwarding mail, is to 
send it "away" from where it currently goes, to some foreign location.

Please recast or clarify your question.  If unsure how, perhaps by 
explaining in detail what currently happens to your mail, and how you 
would like that to change, will get us on the right track.
