Hi Fooler: I managed to solve it after trying out your idea along with trial & error and googling, The working solution turns out to be following : I added the following to .forward:| "/usr/bin/procmail"
I created a file .procmailrc which contains:HOME="/home/username"DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/"MAILDIR="$HOME/Maildir/" I created the $HOME/Maildir folder along with its needed sub folders (new, tmp & cur) Thank you so much for the guidance and putting me on the right track. It is a great solution as I don't to edit postfix configuration (though I have to install procmail) Very much appreciated.
