Hi, thanks for all the help I'm receiving on this. Your time is very much
appreciated.
I have been using filters for a while and everything works fine until I use
either vacation or mail commands in them *shrugs* commands such as save and
deliver are having no problems whatsoever.

Ok, I'll replace it with this example below taken directly from the
documentation.
userforward:
driver = redirect
allow_filter
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
no_verify
skip_syntax_errors
syntax_errors_to = real-$local_part@$domain
syntax_errors_text = \
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.
I've also added the router to handle the prefixes:
real_localuser:
driver = accept
check_local_user
local_part_prefix = real-
transport = local_delivery

It is the autoreply message generated to the sender (in response to a post)
that is getting stuck in the queue with the error:
" == ><haven@???> <simon.alman@???> R=userforward
T=address_reply defer (0): Failed to send message from address_reply
transport (1)"
I can't see any other pointers that say why this is happening - I may just
not be looking for the right thing of course...

Not sure what you mean here ? "haven@???" is a valid address on the
machine in question and has been receiving email fine - except with regards
to vacation replies. Why would it be considered and illegal address ? I
have been using haven as the address to send messges from - with the
receiver being simon.alman

After modifying the message that I was using to test the filter this was
resolved and I got:
Condition is true: personal
After making the changes to the userforward and real_localuser routers and
restarting exim a debug message delivery (-d -M <message id>) attempt still
resulted in:

Same problem unfortunately.
