Hi Jörg
I think you may be on to something there.
I have copied and pasted my userforward router, if you or anyone wouldnt mind overlooking it, I
would be most grateful.
userforward:
debug_print = "R: userforward for $local_part@$domain"
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
allow_filter
directory_transport = address_directory
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
skip_syntax_errors
syntax_errors_to = real-$local_part@$domain
syntax_errors_text = \
This is an automatically generated message. An error has\n\
been found in your .forward file. Details of the error are\n\
reported below. While this error persists, you will receive\n\
a copy of this message for every message that is addressed\n\
to you. If your .forward file is a filter file, or if it is\n\
a non-filter file containing no valid forwarding addresses,\n\
a copy of each incoming message will be put in your normal\n\
mailbox. If a non-filter file contains at least one valid\n\
forwarding address, forwarding to the valid addresses will\n\
happen, and those will be the only deliveries that occur.
