Subject: filter not working on local deliveries ?
Hello!

I am still using exim 1.653 and in that version my .forward is not
interpreted as filter file in local deliveries. At least thats what I
think it is.

I have
userforward:
no_verify,
driver = forwardfile;
file = .forward,
filter,
seteuid

and get error messages like:

Return-Path: <MAILER-DAEMON@???>

Anyone of you has any ideas on this ?
