Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to forward mail properly.
As far as I understand, none of alternatives
(~/.forward, virtual(5), SRS, procmail recipe)
does this properly:

1) ~/.forward breaks possible SPF policy of the sender,
and if I am not mistaken, specifying forwarding in
virtual(5) gives essentially the same result

2) As far as I understand, SRS is not really supported by
postfix and will not be supported anytime soon

3) Forwarding via procmail seems to work, but what happens
if the destination address ceases to exist? Mail gets
bounced from there, but the bounce message should be
delivered to the same nonexisting address, so delivery
attempts repeat every few seconds. Does not seem to be a
good solution.

Are there other alternatives? Do I miss something obvious?

Thanks,
Alex
