Your filter reads:
# Exim Filter
logfile $home/filter.log 0644
if $local_part_suffix is "" then
if $header_to: does not contain "chrish@???" and
$header_to: does not contain "chris_harris@???" and
$header_to: does not contain "chrish@???" and
$header_to: does not contain "chrish@???" and
$header_to: does not contain "chrish@???" and
$header_cc: does not contain "chrish@???" and
$header_cc: does not contain "chris_harris@???" and
$header_cc: does not contain "chrish@???" and
$header_cc: does not contain "chrish@???" then
log "junking: (sub: '$header_subject:'; from: '$header_from:')"
seen deliver chrish-junk@???
endif
else
log "ok suffix: '$local_part_suffix' (sub: '$header_subject:'; from:
'$header_from:')"
endif
So, when you get a bit of mail addressed to chrish@domain which is not
personal, it gets redirected to chrish-junk@???.
Fine. Exim then tries to deliver to that address. It discovers it is
you, so it runs your filter file. This time, the suffix is not "", so
the message falls through. This is consistent with the log messages you
get. So what happens next depends on the directors you have in your
configuration that follow the one that runs your filter file.
As you didn't attach your Exim configuration, I don't know what those
are. To do what you want, they should include one that recognizes the
"junk" suffix.
I suggest you try running a delivery (or a -bt call) with the -d9 option
set. This will produce lots of debugging output, which should tell you
(or me if you send it to me) which directors are handling the addresses
and in what order. That should make it possible to follow what is going
on.
