you have to redeliver them, crude but generally works, move the file from
spool to someplace else (important!) then do

cat mailfile|sendmail -t

don't forget the -t, it's important ;)

assuming you have alias's setup properly they should get passed along to
the alias address...

note: the first message is probably that annoying 'don't delete this
message it contains important folder info' message, you might tell the
poor fellow it's ok to delete it -/

Somewhere in the archives was a slightly safer / more elegant method...
