Digital UNIX et .forward file format

Hello,

I've the following problem with a user's .forward file on Digital UNIX
(DEC OSF/1 3.0). The format is not documented and it's not the same as the
ULTRIX format.

Here is the .forward file :

\login_name
"|/urisc/si/login_name/bin/M/rbiff"
"|/urisc/si/login_name/bin/M/autoanswer"
"|/urisc/si/login_name/bin/M/autopk"

So on Ultrix the mail is sent to the user (username=login_name) and the
3 applications are executed. On DEC OSF/1 the user doesn't receive the mail.
The mail is only delivered to the applications and there is no error neither
warning.

So has somebody an idea on the reason why it works on Ultrix and not on OSF ?
Or what is the exact format of the .forward file on OSF or how to manage
to have the mail delivered to the user and to the apllications ?

Thank you

Daniel
