A .forward file in a users home directory is often considered a security 
issue.  Sendmail allows for specific directories to be listed where it 
will look for .forward files, hopefully odin has a configuration like 
that.  If you have access to the sendmail.cf on the server, look for the 
J option for where sendmail will look.
