You will have to change your configuration so that the appendfile
transport that you use for deliveries from the filter does NOT contain a
setting of the "file" or "directory" options. This change has shafted
you:
34. Changed (incompatibly, but hopefully not so it affects anyone) the
appendfile transport in the case when it is called directly as a result of
a .forward or a filter file requesting a delivery to a file. Previously,
any settings of "file" or "directory" were ignored in this case. Now they
are used. The path received from the router is in $address_file (as
before) and can therefore be included in the expansion.
Obviously, my hope was a false one. Sorry about that.
