Assumpte: [EXIM] forward file format and director
I have two questions about forward files (which I could always
test myself, but I don't want to interfer with an existing system).

sendmail (at least 8.7.5) allows for multiple names for forward files per
person.

We allow the names

      forward.txt
  and .forward


(this is so that people mounting their "home" directories on our imap host
and major smtp switch from DOS can manipulate their forwarding. The
continuation of .forward is because many had previously been set up
from Unix).

will specificing

userforward:
driver = forwardfile
no_verify
check_ancestor
file = forward.txt:.forward
# filter

work?

Second question

sendmail forwarding appears to do fine if the lines in the .forward file
are terminated with CR/LF instead of just LF. (Again, this is useful
for the people who play with their .forward files from DOS). Will
exim be able to cope?

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
