Indeed. I have just tested the forwardfile driver with skip_syntax_errors
set and some syntactically bad lines, and it skipped them, as it is
supposed to. So there must be something about the way you are doing it
that I am missing.
Incidentally, do you really mean
file = ${local_part},
above, because that isn't likely to get you to an absolute file path.
If you could mail me (don't overload the list) a copy of your complete
configuration file and a copy of the list - or at least a portion of it
with the erroneous lines in it - I will see if I can reproduce the
problem.
