Perhaps your MTA will not accept a .forward that is a symlink, just as
procmail has restrictions on what permissions it will tolerate on an rcfile.
For example (I'm just guessing here) it can tell whether it can read the
target file but it cannot tell who might be able to write to it.
That is almost definitely the case, as it prevents a major security hole.
What happens if ~/.forward is a *hard* link to the same inode as
~/.procmail/forward?
That would work. A *hard* link is completely indistinguishable from
the original file.
