[Dovecot] 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@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".
