I've never done this personally, so the best advice I can give is 'man
formail'

Sendmail was complaining about the user's home dir being group writable.  I 
fixed that and things are rolling again.  I still could use a way to get 
the mail from /var/spool/mail/XXXuser back into the que.

Check /var/log/maillog.  Sendmail is probably barfing on file permissions
on either the .forward files themselves, or possibly their home
directories.

Beats me.

HELP: the .forward files fail after upgrade

[James Ervin]

I just upgraded my mail server from 5.1 to 6.2 and the users' .forward 
files are now having no effect.  Any ideas?  I need to get this fixed fast 
as the mail is piling up.

If I do get it fixed, how can I put the current mail from 
/var/spool/mail/user back into the cycle?
