You need to supply the test email message that you want filtered to the
process on its stdin; stdin is Unix for STanDard INput, which for a
program run normally is the terminal window in which you're typing. You
use the shell to redirect the stdin to be from another file or process.

If the test message is in a file "test-mail.msg", then:
# exim4 -bt /path/.forward < test-mail.msg
If you don't use a redirection such as "<", then just type the mail in,
or cut&paste it.
