OK...

The HUB is just running sbbsecho and binkd.  If somehow someone sends me a
netmail using the HUB's address, it will just sit there and I'll never know
it's there unless I physically check the netmail folder. My question was if
there was a way of setting up a file similar to alias.cfg for FTN netmail that
IF netmail addressed to me comes into the HUB node address, it gets forwarded
to the BBS node address where I will be notified. I don't want the HUB
importing any netmail except for an areafix requests. 

Example:

Incoming to HUB			Forward to:

*@24:24/1  			1@24:100/1

Thanks...
