dovecot - Feb 2009 - Forwarding with Dovecot

I'm using Dovecot with Postfix as my MTA

I need to set up forwarding with Dovecot. I create a .forward file in my
user's home directory, and in the .forward file I put
destination_email_address email at example.com. 

Well, it got delivered to the forwarded email just fine. But the sender also
got an undeliverable email from the dovecot mailbox and a copy was not saved
in the dovecot mailbox. I need emails forwarded, and a copy saved in the
dovecot mailbox.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'd think the line should list email addresses only, but I don't use 
postfix.

So, if you remove the ".forward" file, messages get delivered into the
mailbox?

What's the wording of the undeliverable error? With sendmail you would get 
something like "destination_email_address: no such user", because you
try
to forward the mail to a local user named "destination_email_address".

Bye,
