Thanks very much for all the great reponses. I really appreciate all of your help.
A Summary:
In a .forward file you need 2 entries.
root
anne.bond@ombudsman.gov.au
The first one tells mail to keep a local copy and the second send a copy to you elsewhere.
or
you can add a line in /etc/aliases
root: <account>
where <account> is whatever you like
and then run the command newaliases which will read that file and
rebuild the aliases db.
After that all email send to root will be sent to <account>
