Verify No .forward Files Exist
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The .forward file specifies an email address to forward the user's mail to.
Rationale
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.
