Why? What have you got in the local_delivery transport? That should
contain something like
file = /var/mail/${local_part}

By doing that, you have turned off the support for user's .forward
files. Maybe you wanted to do that.

Oh, is it that the problem was that it couldn't cd to the user's home

forcing home_directory either in localuser or in the transport would
solve the problem.
