Hi,

Check your permissions on the the .forward file - should not be world or
group writable as far as I can remember.

Also, you haven't specified and alias in your vacation command, so only
mails addressed to alydio.mc at DOMAIN will be forwarded - could this be the
problem?

It might help to show the lines from /var/log/maillog that pertain to your
test message.
