Subject: [Exim] putting '$' in filters
I'm trying to filter like this:

if $h_to begins "$user@"
then
    ... yada yada


seems some dimwit spammer {but I repeat myself} is sending mail to
$user@something. I love it when spammers tag themselves with predictable
behaviour

Anyway, I've tried everything from $user to \\\\\\\\$user in increments of
one \ , and nothing takes. It either ignores it or complains that it can't
identify the variable. So how do you get a '$' into a filter statement?
