No, same problem: aliases(5) are only used by/for local(8) delivery and if local was in use for this account it would be solved. BTW a virtual user *should* have a home directory, but as there is no system account, .forward would not work. I can suggest to the OP to use a virtual alias pointing to a system user; then your .forward would work. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
