...and I'm not _that_ senior...
I get a message that, because of it's subject, I want to send off to
another system for processing...
What shows up in the logs follows (more relevant info after the log entries)...

On the system that originally received the message (alpha1.bigelow.org,
running exim 3.13, redhat 6.1, user=bcb) my .forward file looks like
# exim filter <<<< ------ Do not delete
if $header_subject: contains "Data Ready for FTP--Sub"
then
pipe "/usr/exim/bin/exim bowler@???"
endif
deliver bcb@???
I use the pipe to deliver to the other node so errors come to me, rather
than the original sender. I want a copy delivered locally as confirmation
that the message did come in, hence the final deliver.
On the "ultimate destination" (seadas.bigelow.org, running exim 3.03,
solaris 7, user=bowler) my .forward file looks like
# exim filter <<<< ----- Do not delete...
if $header_subject: contains "Data ready for FTP--Sub"
then
pipe "/usr/bowler/seawifs_get.pl"
endif
It all works more or less OK but why does alpha1 deliver it twice (or, what
is causing the second message to come in?)
