For the forward files, you can try replacing the forwarding stuff in the
aliases.cf file with something like:

#       [ $PUNTHOST ] || [ $didexpand ] ||
        [ $didexpand ] ||
        a=$(echo /var/spool/forward/"$(recase -l $user)") && [ -f "$a" ] &&
                db add expansions "$key" user &&
                #priv=$(getpriv "644" $priv "$a" .forward) &&
                priv=$(filepriv -M 644 "$a") &&
                return $(listaddresses -e "\$user" -c "$a .forward 
expansion" < "$a" | \
                         maprrouter $(newattribute $attr privilege $priv) \
                                        "$a" "$user")
