Is there any reason why Postfix doesn't read .forward files set up in users
Mail folders, even after modifying main.cf to include the forward_path
option.
Yes. If postfix/local is not involved, the files will be ignored.
Do I have to disable /etc/postfix/virtual which was hitherto handling
forwarding?
Hard to tell, without logs or postconf -n output.
Pardon me please, but I am new to POSTFIX, just a few months in fact.
Could you please explain how to involve postfix/local?
Alexander
local(8) is a mail delivery agent (MDA).
It is the default MDA for postfix for local mailboxes, but you can use
whichever MDA you want.
However, if local(8) isn't used as the local delivery agent, postfix is
not involved in .forward processing.
Run "postconf local_transport" to see what your current MDA is.
