For questions about Debian config files, please use the debian mailing
list (which is documented in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.debian).

Having said that, it is probably failing because you put it in the wrong
section; system_filter is a main section config item, and that is the
first section of the config file -- 669 is a very large line number for
that section.

Also, please don't top-post.
