[Exim] .forward files??

Hey all!

hope you've all had a wonderful millenium night...

just a quick one:

2000-01-02 08:36:07 124fYd-0000X6-00 == philipp@??? D=userforward
defer (-11): bad mode (0100664) for /home/philipp/.forward: 020 bit(s)
unexpected

I created a .forward file... that's what happened! what's that mean?

thanks,

-philipp
