You need to have two transports, one for the global filter and another
for everybody else.
Oh, rats. There isn't a way to specify the transport for the global
filter. It just uses the default.
However, there is a way to specify the transport for ordinary mortals.
Create a new transport without the user= and stick
reply_transport = users_address_reply
in the configuration for the forwardfile director. Then user filter
files should use that one.
