Option 1: Configure Exim to allow .forward files to be filters, and then:

# Exim filter
# this is .forward

if $h_List-Id: contains "<exim-users.exim.org>"
then
save $home/Mail/exim-users
endif

Options 2: Configure Exim to deliver mail by piping it into maildrop, e.g:

echo "|/usr/bin/maildrop" > .forward

or by writing a pipe transport to do it.

Then write .mailfilter:

if (/^List-Id:.*<exim-users.exim.org>/)
to "Mail/exim-users"

Persojnally, I have a router (Exim4) that sends the message to a pipe
transport for maildrop iff the users has a .mailfilter file. (Similar to the
procmail examples, only maildrop is for Maildir format).
