Another possible problem; if your .forward file is group writable,
smail will run it as user `nobody'. This is far less useful than it sounds,
because nobody can't write to your folders, and your mail tends to
disappear into the bit bucket.
There is always `sortmail'; it's not very powerful but I like it. My
configuration for the debian lists is as simple as
set folder='Mail'
