Forwarding from an email address without err..forwarding

My ISP doesn't provide forwarding on the addresses that come with the internet connection.. bah! So is there any kind of workaround I can do?
I was thinking that a server the periodically checking the account and performing the forwarding itself would do the job.

Write a script that scans your catch-all account's mail?

You'll want to re-write the Reply-To and From headers when you respond to the forwarded mail though. Also re-write the To field when you forward the message on to yourself. I'm suprised they won't forward messages though. Who's your ISP? Do you own the domain name?

Hmm yeah, sounds complicated. My ISP is Pipex, no domain this address just comes with my connection (ends with @dsl.pipex.com).

The domain you want to readirect emails
from is a pipex one?

Or is that where you want them to go to?
