Its not a transport - a filter is a director (in exim 3 - a router in
exim 4).
For exim 3 you would have something like this in the directors section
userfilter:
driver = forwardfile
require_files = /usr/local/exim_filters/$local_part.filter
file = /usr/local/exim_filters/$local_part.filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
forbid_filter_existstest
forbid_filter_lookup
forbid_filter_perl
no_verify
check_ancestor
file = .forward
modemask = 002
filter
You may not want all those options - you can lose a few. Also you may
want to set ownership of the filter files - and that director
appropriately.
Similar but different things will apply for exim 4.
