I would categorize the following as the user's HOME:

/var/vmail/virtdomain.com/user

If possible, can you move the maildir into a subdir, so it's:

/var/vmail/virtdomain.com/user/Maildir

This probably isn't strictly needed, but it might keep things clean.

Logically, given the above definition of HOME, the .forward file would be:

/var/vmail/virtdomain.com/user/.forward

However, I'm wondering if that would actually work. What local delivery
agent are you using? I assume not the standard postfix LDA; isn't that
for system users only? If you are using the standard postfix LDA, the
above .forward location would probably work.
