The action line can start with the following characters:
     !      Forwards to all the specified mail addresses.


So your recipe could probably be replaced by:
:0
! user at pdinc.us

Although there is no obvious way to specify the smtp server (I assume it
either sends via localhost or, more likely, uses the MX from dns for the
target domain).

Hope this helps
