It's possible to cause Exim to run .forward files at RCPT time by removing
the no_verify option from the userforward redirect router. This means that
users (independent of the sysadmin) can cause messages to be rejected
rather than bounced. This might be useful in a setup which supports
local-part suffixes. One reason that the standard configuration does not
do this is that Exim is running as the exim user at verification time, so
users must make their .forward files globally readable.
