If I understand your question correctly, you want to be able to receive
the mail to both accounts on both accounts.  Just extend the previous
answer and swap names.  Assuming you have account "anibal" on machineA
and "anibal2" on machineB:

    (~anibal/.forward on machineA) \anibal, anibal2@machineB
    (~anibal2/.forward on machineB) \anibal2, anibal@machineA

I'm not sure why you want to read all your mail twice, but that's your
business. :-)
