It doesn't usually give me much trouble but at the moment I am having a bit of strangeness with my media server which uses postfix to send out various alerts etc.

My main.cf is below and /etc/mailname is digimatic.co.uk

It all seems to work well except it is ignoring .forward files in the user home folders, i.e I have a user 'francis' who has his own email address in the .forward but if I mail 'francis' it gets routed to francis@digimatic.co.uk rather than the address in his forward file. Similarly I tried a .forward in my own home dir of info@digimatic.co.uk but the mail to me still goes to my username wstallwood@digimatic.co.uk
