With many MTAs it is as simple as making the forward file on netschool:
darren, darren@example.com

The MTA will automatically skip routing a second copy to the local mailbox
if it finds the same local part as the one currently under consideration.
(But beware, this protection can be confused if an alias is involved on the
local part.)

Or if you deliver mail through procmail (or Exim's filter mechanism :-) you
have extreme flexiblity over where copies of messages are stored and/or
forwarded.
