I'm doing very roughly the same thing...
I don't use filters for each user though... For them to add the filters to
the system, they would need a shell account on the system to add the
.forward .vacation, or whatever file you want exim to process on behalf of
the user.. So I just have like a generic system-wide filter, with defaults
for everyone. The majority of the configurations on a per user basis comes
from a mysql db, and there I do sanity checking from PHP that manages the
data inside the DB...
Hope it helps.
