This system uses the forwarding field in the LDAP directory to route mail

+Each forwarder inspects the LDAP database
to see if foo@debian.org has forwarding set to an address, if so the <i>envelope

Otherwise the message is relayed to master.debian.org for processing by the

If you use procmail for your main mailbox, PLEASE, erase your .forward

-supported on debian.org machines for a good while now, and will continue to be
-supported. .procmailrc files won't be synchronised to all hosts in

The correct way to invoke procmail for extension addresses is "|/usr/bin/procmail [options]"
