Thanks.  That plugin should be moved to the Obsolete category, since
its features can now be found elsewhere.

If you do not intend to use FTP to write the forward files to the
user's home directories, then you have misconfigured the plugin.  You
need to use the suid backend (presumably -- you don't give any details
about your server's mail forwarding system).

Read the plugin documentation and read through the configuration file.

The example configuration file uses FTP.  That's not what you want to
use.  Read the configuration file and configure it so that it works on
your system.
