The tests say it's doing exactly the right thing; it just isn't
Even in the debug log below, it seems to be getting the right idea, then
just puts the actual message in the main inbox, not the filtered one...
OK, here goes (three parts, forward test, segment showing the variables
are indeed matching, then finally a debug log of a live message coming
in):
Part 1: --------------------
gabrielle.bevteccom.co.uk 142% exim -bf ~brwk/.forward < ~brwk/testmessage1
Sender taken from "From " line
Return-path taken from "Return-path:" header line
Return-path = sentto-10105033-33822-1101546884-list-
demodellers=bevteccom.co.uk@???
Sender = genesis@???
Recipient = brwk@???
Testing Exim filter file "/home/gabrielle/users/brwk/.forward"
Save message
to: /home/gabrielle/users/brwk/.maildir/.Lists.Rail.DEModellers/
Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action.
No other deliveries will occur.
gabrielle.bevteccom.co.uk 143%
--------------
With more detail switched on (and running as root, but on my .forward
file):
Part 2 -----------
[....]
Match expanded arguments:
Subject = <demodellers@???>
Pattern = demodellers@???
Condition is true: $h_to: matches
demodellers@???
Save message to: /root/.maildir/.Lists.Rail.DEModellers/
Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action.
No other deliveries will occur.
[....]
--------------
The destination directory for the mailing list appears to be there and
in maildir format and yet the default case of ~brwk/.maildir is where
all the messages end up:
xena.bevteccom.co.uk 1272% ls -l ~brwk/.maildir/.Lists.Rail.DEModellers/
total 1396
-rw-r--r-- 1 brwk susers 658119 Nov 26 19:49 courierimapuiddb
drwx------ 2 brwk susers 753664 Nov 27 12:15 cur
-rwx------ 1 brwk susers 0 Nov 7 2003 maildirfolder
drwx------ 2 brwk susers 4096 Nov 26 19:49 new
drwx------ 2 brwk susers 4096 Nov 26 19:49 tmp
xena.bevteccom.co.uk 1273%
(note new directory not touched since I switched over to exim 4
yesterday).
What else:
- .maildir used to be a symlink to Maildir; now .maildir is real and
Maildir is the symlink. Exim.conf points to .maildir.
- .forward is mode 600 to me.
- .maildir is mode 700 to me.
- mail is coming into .maildir tree so driver is there
- I've checked the Fedora Core 3 SRPM and the patches to the config do
not switch off the ability to do filtering; the shipped exim.conf does
but the line can easily be uncommented.
OK, here's the log of a live message coming in:

Any more ideas? I'm definitely puzzled, and I'm not a newcomer to
writing exim.conf files.
