Nothing to do with your English, but 'unaware of' more likely than ignoring.

Parsing a .forward file is part of the delvery process, so Exim needs to detect
these in the same place where it expects to deliver the mail.

You did not actually specify Maildir storage, but if you meant your example,
aboe to be;

/virtual/$domain/$local_part/Maildir

Then a 'conventional' .forward file needs to be in:

/virtual/$domain/$local_part/Maildir/.forward

- So that is where MySQL should drop them.

You haven't specified where the '..user home directory' is located, but it must
be eleswhere at present.

HTH,
