dovecot - Jan 2009 - Dovecot and .forward

Hello to all,

There is something to be configured to allow dovecot to use the .forward
file into the user's maildir? I have done some test, but seems dovecot
don't look into the .forward file and no result at all.

I use Postfix with the deliver of dovecot, here is my dovecot configuration:

# 1.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

      mode: 384

  quota_warning2: storage=90%% /usr/bin/quota_warning.sh 90
  quota_warning3: storage=99%% /usr/bin/quota_warning.sh 90

Any suggestion to debug that problem?

Dovecot doesn't read .forward files from users.
Postfixs local (LDA) reads .forward files - BUT not from virtual users
home directories.

You could use the cmusieve plugin which supports
'redirect "an at addr.ess"'
