This sounds like a standard .forward file to me, just set up the forward 
on the user directory on the mail server.

If the emails are being generated locally and forwarded to the local 
email server, you can also set that user up as an alias in Postfix.  
PostFix can forward to an external host.

Or am I not understanding the question?
