Hmm. Let's split that up:
file = ${extract{5}{:}\
{\
${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/vmail/passwd.$domain}\
{"{$value}.forward"}}\
}\
}
It's syntactially OK, but the output will be something like
"{/home/xxx}.forward"
which is not what you want. You don't want those curlies in there.
Actually, you don't need the quotes, and you can make this all much
simpler:
file = ${extract{5}{:}\
{\
${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/vmail/passwd.$domain}}\
}\
}.forward
Have you discovered the -be option? If you'd tried your string using
that, you would have spotted the error immediately.
