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.


I have changed the local delivery agent to local(8) and set the forward_path in main.cf to /var/forward/$user/.forward, but my .forward files are still not being processed. Is there any other thing I need to do?
