This is a piece of the filter file :-).

If you want to use this in a .forward file, put
# Exim filter
as the first line (as shown in the doc filter.txt) and then put that
above snippet in verbatim. However, you'll need to add a 'logfile'
command if that 'log' command is to work, so either add it or remove
the log command. Also, as the spec says, your router/director must
have the option 'allow_filter' set.
You can also choose to put that in the system filter, if you want.
The same caveat about the 'log' command applies. The system filter,
in exim4, is specified by the
system_filter = /etc/exim/system.filter
option, and the directory transport must also be specified with the
system_filter_directory_transport = address_directory
option.
