Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have posted most of this information before - hence my plee (still
outstanding) to see if anyone is successfully using vacation and/or mail
functions in user .forward files.
Debugging output, .forward filters and relevant transport/directors are
given below.
I have had a very experienced user have a look at the config and come up
blank as to what the problem is.
The question still stands "has anyone got vacation/mail filters to work
with exim 4.05 ???"
Thanks
Regards
Simon Alman

This is an automatically generated message. An error has\n\
been found in your .forward file. Details of the error are\n\
reported below. While this error persists, you will receive\n\
a copy of this message for every message that is addressed\n\
to you. If your .forward file is a filter file, or if it is\n\
a non-filter file containing no valid forwarding addresses,\n\
a copy of each incoming message will be put in your normal\n\
mailbox. If a non-filter file contains at least one valid\n\
forwarding address, forwarding to the valid addresses will\n\
happen, and those will be the only deliveries that occur.
