main.cf:
    transport_maps = hash:${config_directory}/transport
    nodotfwd_destination_recipient_limit = 1
    nodotfwd_destination_concurrency_limit = 2

master.cf:
    nodotfwd unix - n n - - local
            -o forward_path=

transport:
    nodotfwd.localhost nodotfwd:localhost

As for the ".forward" files:

    ~user1/.forward: user1nodotfwd.localhost, user2nodotfwd.localhost
    ~user2/.forward: user2nodotfwd.localhost, user1nodotfwd.localhost

Both of the RHS addresses must be directed to the nodotfwd transport to
avoid a loop. When mail is sent to both users each will receive two
copies. It may be possible to work around the duplicate deliveries in
Postfix 2.5 (some but not all of the cases can be solved in earlier
releases).
