in general: 700 for directories, 600 for other files. unless you need
special uids to read these, in which case you select the right group and
add the required permissions. when you find yourself needing a 'g+w',
then think twice, and when you need 'a+w', then find another job.

vacation doesn't need to read .forward. make sure it is not sending a
vacation to the recipient himself.
now, postfix should be able to read the .forward file. the latter must
belong to the user and must be rw by this user, nothing else.

Instead of trying random permissions, find out who is trying to access
the file, and if ok, give him permission. note that .forward should
never be writable by anoyone but the owner, for obviou reasons.
