If you are hosting your own domain and handling email, etc for it, just
set 
up a secondary MX record for your friend's box with a HIGHER number
(lower 
priority) say priority 50 where the MX record for your box has a
priority 10 
or even priority 5.
That way, if mail can't be delivered directly to you, it will go to your

buddy's box. BUT your buddy has to configure his box to accept mail for
you.
