~/.forward is normally not evaluated before the actual delivery; in the
default configuration no_verify is set on the userforward router because Exim
runs as its own user when processing the ACLs and therefore can't count on
having access to individual users' files. You can change that of course.

Unfortunately you can't tell Exim to return arbitrary status codes yet. It's
entry 311 on the Exim 4 wishlist.
