Hello Edgar,
Thank you for your answser. I created the user exactly as written on the page
you specified.
The smtpd.conf has nothing really special that's why I posted the only lines
that were of interest.
But you are right, if smtpd is looking for the .forward in the user's home
directory the error message doesn't surprise me.
=>> Maybe the error message could be a bit more explicit because we tend to
search what's going wrong in the smtpd.conf file
The idea behind is that I don't want to have my mails in /var. I wanted my
mails to be on a specific partition and also on a different machine with a nfs
share

That depends on how you have the system set up. Hard to begin without
the smtpd.conf though. How did you create this _vmail user?
# useradd -what -options _vmail
How are your users mapped to the _vmail user?
Some logs would probably help.
Basically smtpd is looking for a .forward file in /var/mail/_vmail and
warning you that there isn't one. It can probably be ignored. You should
take a look at https://opensmtpd.org/faq/example1.html.
