significant deliveries and normal delivery would apply. Filter at
bottom of mail.

RTFM!
Yeah useful and it is probably is in there somewhere but I can't see
anything in generic director/router section [139-156] or in the main
configuration file section [40-49].

I have read chapter 44. It is the per-addressing filter example I am
using (see original mail vol1 991 & 990).

Thanx for the flame. The question is "does the order of directors
matter?" Sorry if i have skipped over it in the docs.

-------filter--------------------
# Exim filter

if error_message then finish endif
if ${local_part} contains "test"
then fail text "banned by postmaster"
endif

-----director----------------
central_filter:
driver = forwardfile
file = /path/to/file/${local_part}
no_check_local_user
no_verify
filter
allow_system_actions
