I was recently surprised to see .forward file in user's home dir being
honoured in a context where mail is set to be delivered via LMTP to
dovecot for final delivery. A response I got on the dovecot list
implied
that the MTA is responsible for this.
Does Postfix handle .forward just before it hands the message off
using
LMTP? How does this work? I wouldn't have expected this unless Postfix
was doing the actual delivery, though it's not unwelcome - it's a
mildly
helpful feature but I want to understand how it works.
See http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html
This says .forward is only used by local(8). So in my case, dovecot LMTP
seems to be responsible for this?
