Thanks for the information. When running it this way everything works. I'm
not sure why it is not working with normal mail flow.

One would then expect the contents of a.cf to be read.
Note that it's historically customary to preceed the basic filename
with a two digit number and an underscore. The rules are read in
alphabetical order, which translates to numerical order for the
numbered rules. "local.cf" is read first of all, of course.
