Yes, this is the case. Horse doesn't even know the original address. My
mistake..
So it seems that the only way is the use of something like "real-" prefix or
just simple adding /var/mail/xxx to .forward.
I'd like for cases like this to preserve old functionality of "\" in
.forward - "just add that message to user's mailbox no matter what".
Maybe we should create a new director for this case? If "\" wasn't ignored
when processing .forward I think I could this do it with address
rewriting but since "\" seems to be removed just at the beginning of
processing I doubt it's possibe without source code modification.
