This is a bot that forwards messages to some other places

Features:

• Forward messages from bot to some chat or user
• Support replies. When recipient gets message he is able to reply on message. This message will be sent to original sender.
• Self hosted! So only you can access your personal data, unlike @LivegramBot, that [clearly says that they store your data](https://telegra.ph/What-is-Livegram-Bot-03-17. This might me okay for most users. But for others it is unacceptable.

Setup
