Ensure no users have .forward files

The .forward file specifies an email address to forward the user's mail to. Use of the .forward file poses a security risk in that sensitive data may be inadvertently transferred outside the organization. The .forward file also poses a risk as it can be used to execute commands that may perform unintended actions.
