I believe that a variant of this "buglet" was discussed Thursday. It
appears that the system filter only actions, fail and freeze are not seen
as "significant deliveries" (which is correct really) so the -bF stuff
misreports that "Normal delivery will occur". This had me stumped for a
while.

You do need to set
message_filter = /path/to/filter-file
in the main part of your configure file and HUP or restart exim.
