Thank you Philip. I'm ok with my clumsy solution. It's working and I
only need it for a few days.
I guess it's a documentation bug. A grep in the exim-3.33/doc
directory doesn't seem to pull up anything on "forward_all". I
changed the title of this thread so that someone might find this
precious tidbit of info.
Thanks again, especially for exim.
