First, you should upgrade the forward package to 1.7e right away if that
is not the version you are running. There is no functional difference but
older versions may not work. I don't remember how many versions there
have been but the ones I found on the CERN machines dated from 1988 and
kept crashing.
There is no interface between the LISTSERV and LMail forwarding, they are
two different things. LMail can only forward what it gets, doesn't
attempt to grab CMS NOTE or PROFS mail from the reader of people, and
supports source routes and multiple forwarding addresses. LISTSERV
forwards by polling, doesn't support source routes (at least I don't
think it does, although it might actually be tricked into doing so), and
only supports a single address. Running both is not a good idea; there
are configuration options to prevent LMail from accepting SET FORWARD
commands from users, and you'd then leave all the forwarding to LISTSERV.
Alternatively if CMS NOTE et al is not a concern you can simply turn off
the LISTSERV forwarding.
