Hi,

We have postfix installed with virtual addresses. Due to the fact that
is not possible to postfix to process .forward files with the current
MDA, i would like to know if somebody knows what are the alternatives to
allow this

Thank you
Rui

If you need the features of the local(8) delivery agent, virtual(8)
mailboxes were not a good choice for you. You could convert to system
accounts, or depending on the specific need for the .forward files,
perhaps come up with numerous workarounds. No, I don't think any of
the third-party delivery agents directly support .forward files.

Courier maildrop supports virtual users, but has a feature-set that is
approximately as rich as local(8). While .forward file syntax may not
be supported, functionally equivalent features are IIRC.
