Isn't it better to create a .forward file in Jenny's home dir, the contents of which (on the first line) are the external address.
Can't think why it is better that way (apart from the user not needing to be su to change the address later) but it's the way I've always done this in the past.
I prefer putting things in /etc/aliases just because it keeps stuff all in one place, especially for root mail as there is already a forward in there to put it into jennys account. When playing "hunt the email" looking in .forward files can be a pain.
