Thank you both for hints about procmail, Will and Ren.
Your suggestions make me curious about the issue of procmail that I
postpone putting back my .forward.
1. In main.cf, I found a line:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN
2. In /var/log/syslog, I also found this command is run by postfix/local when I remove
.forward.
I have questions;
Q1. I know the 'procmail' in .forward precedes that in main.cf. But can
I just use mailbox_command in main.cf and forget .forward?
Q2. If yes, do I need to append '-t' (fail softly) to the procmail command?
Q3. How do I know whether I need to give the '-Y' option?
Q4. I don't have the ENV variable $DOMAIN in shell, the '-a $DOMAIN' is
OK?
best regards,
charlie
