Hmm. The problem I reported occurs even with no_verify set; if I read

It looks like there may be a bug in exim's handling of the no_verify option.

When processing a filter file as the result of EXPN or VRFY, why doesn't
exim simply run under the appropriate uid/gid, as it would if it were
delivering mail?
