Subject: [Exim] duplicate forwards
Hello,

I am a fairly novice user of Exim and i'm having some trouble setting up
forwarding with .forward files for my office.

I have this configuration set up in the exzim configure file:

userforward:
driver = redirect
check_local_user
file = $home/.forward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
# allow_filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply

- It works fine in this condition:
user-base has a .foward file that consists of the line "user-forward".
When I send mail to user-base, user-forward gets the piece of mail.
- it also works fine in this condition:
user-base has a .foward file that consists of the line "user-base".
When I send mail to user-base, user-base gets the piece of mail.

- however, it has problems in this condition:
  user-base has a .foward file that consists of the line
    "user-base, user-forward".
  When I send mail to user-base, user-base gets the piece of mail just
    fine, however, user-forward gets two copies of the mail, which is not
    the desired result.


I've tried reading throught the Exim documentation, and searching online
(including this group) but I cannot figure out why Exim is forwarding two
pieces of mail, or how to get it stop. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for any help that you can offer!
