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).
