Am I right? You did not say with any word which MTA you are using. Is it Sendmail or Postfix or any different? If you are running Sendmail I suggest you call SA using MimeDefang. The command line does follwing: -sets IFS (Internal Field Separator - see man bash) to a simple space - and calls procmail by exchanging the shell (see man bash) - if the procmail call fails it will exit with error code 75 providing the username for whom the .forward call was made.
